EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Saving Fruit Pits for the War Effort: A Call to Action" 2. Description: This poster, issued by the War Commission for Oils and Fats (Kriegsausschuss fur oel und Fette) in 1917, encourages the public to save fruit pits and contribute them to the war effort. The image features a simple yet compelling design: a bowl filled with various fruits, with the text "Sammelt die Obstkerne und schickt sie durch Eure Kinder in die Schule oder an die nachsten Sammelstelle!" (Collect the fruit pits and send them through your children to school or to the next collection point!) The use of the imperative verb "Sammelt" (collect) and the direct address "Eure Kinder" (your children) creates a sense of urgency and personal responsibility. 3. Context: During World War I, Germany faced a significant shortage of vegetable oils, which were essential for the production of munitions, food, and other war-related industries. In response, the War Commission for Oils and Fats launched a campaign to collect fruit pits, which could be processed into vegetable oil. This poster is a visual representation of that campaign, targeting families and children to participate in the collection effort. 4. Analysis: The poster's design is effective in conveying the message clearly and succinctly. The use of the fruit bowl as a visual metaphor for the collection campaign is a clever choice, as it makes the task seem less daunting and more appealing. The text is written in a clear and straightforward manner, with the use of direct address and imperative verbs creating a sense of urgency and personal responsibility. Overall, this poster is an excellent example of how design and language can be used to mobilize the public for a common cause during wartime.
