EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Wolt Ihr Oel, dann sammelt Bucheckern! Kriegsauschuss fur Oele und Fette" - The Elf and the Beech Nuts: A War Effort Poster from 1917 This poster, hailing from the year 1917, presents a unique blend of folklore and practicality as it encourages viewers to participate in the war effort by collecting beech nut seeds for oil production. The title, "Wolt Ihr Oel, dann sammelt Bucheckern! Kriegsauschuss fur Oele und Fette," translates to "If you want oil, then collect beech nut seeds! War Committee for Oils and Fats." The image portrays an enchanting scene of an elf, a popular folklore figure, in a forest setting. The elf is shown with a basket, symbolizing the act of collecting, and is surrounded by an abundance of beech nuts. The poster's design is simple yet effective, utilizing the allure of the fantastical to engage the audience and make the call to action more appealing. During World War I, resources were scarce, and the production of essential items like oil became a significant challenge. The German War Committee for Oils and Fats recognized the potential of beech nut oil as a valuable alternative to traditional sources. This poster was part of a larger campaign to encourage citizens to collect beech nut seeds and contribute to the war effort by producing oil from these seeds. The poster's enduring charm lies in its ability to merge the magical and the practical, making the act of collecting beech nuts for oil production an adventure rather than a chore. This piece of history serves as a reminder of the resourcefulness and resilience of communities during times of hardship.
