Aanplakbiljet Possibly 1919

"Aanplakbiljet" (Poster) is a 1919 poster produced by the Gemeentebestuur van Amsterdam, the city council of Amsterdam, which was designed as a public announcement. The poster was a public notice that the 93rd bread card, a rationing system for food during the First World War, was valid from Saturday 19 April to Sunday 27 April 1919. This poster exemplifies the use of graphic design to communicate vital information during times of hardship. It is a reminder of the shortages and restrictions faced by Amsterdam residents following the war, and it is a valuable piece of historical documentation.
