A railway journey is the central message of this 1921 color lithograph, which urges Upper Silesians to travel home to vote. The plebiscite that year decided whether the region would remain German or pass to the newly re-established Poland, and many eligible voters who had moved elsewhere needed trains to reach their polling places. The poster also asks for donations to a border relief fund, reflecting the wider effort to support German communities near contested frontiers after the First World War. Its bold color and direct wording show how posters were used to mobilize both votes and money in the postwar years.
