The Paris notaries' guild, the Compagnie des Notaires de Paris, put its name to this 1916 war loan poster, urging French citizens to "Hâtez la victoire," or "Hasten the victory." Posters like this were a central tool of France's domestic war finance: the government borrowed heavily from ordinary savers through bonds, and the appeals asked people to lend their savings to the national cause. Notaries, the legal officials who handled property and financial transactions, were well placed to reach investors and the propertied middle class. The poster's bold lettering and direct call to action reflect the wartime style of the period, when images were designed to be read quickly from a street wall.
