Animated foods wear their ration cards in a postcard to commemorate the war year, 1916. A couplet invokes German Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg's advice to stick together to fend off the demon of hunger.

Zur Erinnerung an die Kriegszeit Anno Domini 1916



Wenn wir felt zusammenhalten, treu nach Bethmann-Hollwegs Lehren,

Dann wird sich der Hungerteufel bald zu allen Teufeln scheeren!



To commemorate the war Anno Domini 1916



If we stick together firmly, true to Bethmann Hollweg's teachings,

Soon the demon of hunger will go to the devil for shearing!



Oskar Beringer.
