Subscribe for victory" is the slogan on this 1916 French poster, issued by the Banque Nationale de Crédit to invite investors into a government war loan. By 1916 France had been fighting for nearly two years, and the state depended heavily on borrowing from its own citizens to pay for munitions, supplies and soldiers' wages. Posters like this one appeared in streets, railway stations and bank windows, presenting a financial transaction as a patriotic duty. Its direct appeal to ordinary savers shows how the home front was asked to support the war with money as well as labor.
