This is a drawing of a charitable campaign poster. The image features text and a drawing of two figures inside a room. The text, "Le Bon Feu," references a charitable initiative from 1914-1916, and is complemented by a handwritten letter from Jean Wolff. The drawing shows a seated figure and a standing figure covered in clothing, in front of a simple room interior with basic fixtures like a mantle and bottle. The poster's text implores readers not to forget those who are cold, emphasizing providing warmth through coal distribution to those in need. The imagery is rendered in a monochromatic color scheme with soft, textured lines, indicative of graphite or charcoal drawings for illustrative purposes.
