WWI German Poster Notifying French Communities of the Confiscation of Hay
$125.00
The 1915 poster is approximately 17-3/4 inches by 22 inches and it is mounted on linen. The poster sets for an announcement by German General Erich von Redern. The announcement, printed in both German and French, states: “Notice to Municipalities: As a consequence of the regulation of February 27, 1915, all hay cut in 1915, including grasses, is seized for the German armies. It is strictly forbidden, under the penalties of the aforementioned regulation, to collect hay arbitrarily or to usurp seized provisions.” The poster shows age toning and edge chips but it is complete and legible.
