Its title, *Souscrivez à l'Emprunt de la Libération*, translates as "Subscribe to the Liberation Loan," the name of a French wartime bond drive in 1918 meant to finance the final campaign and the recovery of occupied northern France. The record's subject headings pair military personnel with coins and war bonds, which points to the poster's core appeal: turning savings into a contribution to the war effort. Its handwritten donor credit and printed catalog reference show that it was preserved as a collectible printed document, and the note to tear along the middle suggests it was meant to be detached and used as a subscription form.
