Few postwar French posters ask ordinary people to lend money as directly as this one, which names a private bank and urges readers to subscribe to the Reconstitution loan. Issued after the First World War, such government loans raised funds to rebuild the northern and eastern provinces, where towns, farms and rail lines had been wrecked by years of fighting. Posters like this carried the appeal into streets, shop windows and railway stations, reaching small savers as well as wealthy investors. Its wording, which blends civic duty with the promise of a sound investment, shows how governments of the period sold their debt to the public.
