The title's imperative, "Zeichnet" (subscribe), is a direct appeal: this poster asks the viewer to buy a government war bond, not to enlist or to donate. Germany financed much of its First World War effort through domestic borrowing, and the Kriegsanleihe, or war loan, was the main vehicle for it, with a new issue offered again and again as the war dragged on. Posters like this one were pasted on street walls, in railway stations and on public buildings, pairing a patriotic message with a plea to lend money to the state. Looking at it now, the poster shows how the home front was asked to take part in the war as investors as well as workers and soldiers' families.
