A wartime charity concert advertised under the title "Kinderland" (Children's Land) makes this 1917 German poster stand out from the many appeals of its moment. Its subjects link entertainment, fundraising, and mothers and children, which points to a benefit meant to raise money for families. By 1917, Germany faced serious food shortages under the Allied naval blockade, and the winter of 1916–1917 is remembered as the "turnip winter." Posters like this one asked civilians to give to welfare causes while keeping up a sense of home-front normalcy. The record does not name the artist, so its design and imagery are best read as examples of how wartime Germany mixed charity, culture, and public appeal.
