• This French poster promotes a modern art exhibition in March 1916 in which the proceeds will go to provide clothing for French prisoners of war in German prison camps. The poster shows the distribution of relief parcels in a prison camp under German supervision. To the left, a French POW writes a letter, perhaps requesting some kind of aid from home.
