Issued in 1920 by the Banque L. Dupont, this color lithograph urges French citizens to subscribe to the National Loan, and it is signed by L. Jonas. The poster belongs to the postwar effort to rebuild France, when the government borrowed from its own people to pay for reconstruction and the heavy costs of the war. Its flags, one of the subjects catalogued with it, tie the appeal to national pride and civic duty. The Library of Congress holds it as number 38 in a printed checklist of posters.
