The poster's German title sets its message as a contrast: prosperity remains in Germany, while poverty and emigration are said to be the lot of Poland. Printed in 1920, it appeared as Germany was losing territory under the Treaty of Versailles and as disputes over the eastern border were unfolding, including plebiscites in several contested areas. Posters like this one used economic imagery to argue over national fortunes and borders in the years after World War I. Its subject headings, which link the postwar era to both nations, show how the image was meant to be read as political commentary.
