A French war-loan poster from 1918 builds its appeal around the tank, a weapon still new to the battlefield that year. Titled "Emprunt National 1918. Souscrivez pour la victoire qui vient!" and signed by B. Chavannaz, it urges readers to subscribe to the national loan and help bring about the victory it promises. Posters like this were a standard tool of wartime finance, asking ordinary citizens to lend money to the state as well as to support the army. The lithograph was printed by Imp. Crété in Paris, and its focus on the armored tank reflects France's growing investment in these machines during the final year of the war.
