Kriegsanleihetag der Österreichischen Bühnen, 31 May 1917 (Th. Fasche)
Pen portraits of about twenty-five actors and singers, two raising glasses, under the line 'Wir alle zeichnen Kriegsanleihe!' and the date 31 May 1917. The tell is the pairing of stage celebrity with 'we all': performers' faces vouch for the loan and imply that everyone is already subscribing.
