EDITORS COMMENTS
During the turbulent year of 1917, as the First World War continued to rage on, the Munich office of the War Commission for Oils and Fats (Kriegsausschuss fur oel und Fette) issued this compelling poster to encourage the German people to participate in an innovative wartime initiative. Entitled "Sammelt Obstkerne zur olgewinnung; nachste Sammelstelle..." (Collect fruit pits for oil production; next collection point...), the poster depicts two men walking, their bodies transformed into fruit pits dripping with oil. The powerful image served as a call to action, urging citizens to collect fruit pits from their homes and local markets to be processed into oil, a valuable resource in the midst of war. The locations of the collection points were conveniently listed at the bottom of the poster. This imaginative campaign reflects the resourcefulness and determination of the German people during this time, as they sought to contribute to the war effort in any way possible. The use of the poster as a means of communication underscores the importance of public engagement and cooperation in times of crisis. The image of the men's bodies as fruit pits, dripping with oil, serves as a poignant reminder of the transformation of everyday items into valuable resources, and the potential for collective action to make a significant impact.
