EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and heartwarming lithograph print captures the essence of Christmas spirit during a time of war. The "Christmas Appeal by the Bavarian Red Cross" poster, published in Munich circa 1914-18, features a festive scene with a fairy delivering gifts to soldiers on the front line.
The image depicts a young girl dressed as a Christmas fairy riding in a sleigh filled with parcels and presents for the troops. The soldier receiving the gifts looks touched by the gesture, highlighting the importance of spreading joy and goodwill even in times of conflict.
Created by artist Walter Puttner, this artwork served as an advertisement for the Bavarian Red Cross's holiday collection for soldiers (Weichnachts Sammlung des bayerischen Roten Kreuzes fur die Feldgrauen). The poster aimed to boost morale among military personnel during World War I and remind them that they were not forgotten during the holiday season.
As we reflect on this poignant piece from history, let us remember the power of kindness and generosity in bringing hope to those facing adversity. The Christmas Appeal by the Bavarian Red Cross serves as a timeless reminder of compassion and solidarity amidst turmoil.
