Published in 1917 during the tumultuous years of World War I, this colour lithograph showcases a powerful image that captures the essence of wartime Germany. The central focus of the poster is a soldier wearing a helmet and uniform, standing tall with bayonets at his side. The graphic design skillfully combines elements of drama and patriotism, evoking a sense of pride and duty among viewers. The soldier's intense gaze reflects the hardships faced on the battlefield, while also hinting at the emotional depth explored within Gilardone's play. In an era dominated by war, entertainment played an important role in providing solace to soldiers and civilians alike.

Today, this print serves as both a historical artifact from World War I and a testament to the enduring power of art in times of turmoil.
