Few wartime posters pair a financial appeal with a team of horses quite like this one, which uses a horse-drawn chariot to urge German readers to subscribe to the Eighth War Loan. It was the last of the bond drives Germany ran during the First World War. By 1918 the government depended heavily on borrowing from its own citizens to pay for the war, and posters like this carried the message into streets, workplaces and post offices. The chariot suggests momentum and triumph, presenting the bonds as both a patriotic duty and a sound investment. It is a useful example of how the state turned a dry financial transaction into a call to action.
