The title names a French government war loan, the *Emprunt de la Libération* (Liberation Loan), which was promoted to the public in 1918 as the war neared its end. Such loans asked ordinary citizens to lend money to the state, and posters like this one were a main way to persuade them. Many of these appeals used strong imagery and patriotic slogans to link buying bonds with victory and national recovery. The record does not name the artist, but the campaign shows how the French government mobilized civilians on the home front during the final year of the war.
