Among the many wartime appeals, this 1918 French color lithograph singles out the country's sailors and asks everyone to give. Its title, *Donnez tous à l'Oeuvre du Souvenir de la France à ses marins*, translates roughly as "Everyone give to the fund for the remembrance of the French sailors," and the tricolor flags in its design match the French naval and industrial themes listed in its subject headings. Signed by Simon and catalogued as number 189 in a printed checklist, the poster shows how 1918 fundraising campaigns used bold color and simple messages to reach donors on the home front.
