*Opfertag in Bayern*, dated 1916, is a tall lithograph poster promoting a day of voluntary giving in Bavaria during the First World War, and the title's "Opfertag," or "sacrifice day," names the appeal directly. Its subject headings point to swords, daggers, and globes, motifs that tied the call for donations to the wider war and to Germany's ambitions within it. Wartime sacrifice days asked civilians to give money or goods for soldiers and relief work, and posters were a main way to turn patriotic feeling into contributions. The design is signed only with its artist's monogram, a common practice among graphic artists of the period.
