Back Cover: [Ich gehe hinaus an die Front. Hast du die 6. Kriegsanleihe schon gezeichnet?] / MKOLL. Lithograph by Magda Lena Koll, Bremen, Germany, 1917. Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, LC-USZC4-11710.

These examples of German artwork from the Library of Congress World War I Posters Collection ask support of the war effort with messages that emphasize the humanity of the soldiers on the battleground. In one case, a Christmas tree is accompanied by German text that reads, "Christmas in the field! 1914. Donate gift packages for our warriors!" In the other, the wide eyes of a soldier look directly to the audience, originally alongside the German words, "I'm going to the Front. Have you subscribed to the 6th War Loan yet?"
