The lettering on this piece reads "Zeichnet die achte Kriegsanleihe," urging Germans to subscribe to the eighth war loan. Germany financed much of its World War I effort through these government bonds, and posters like this one were a standard way to reach citizens at home. The eighth loan came in the autumn of 1918, as the war was turning against Germany and only weeks before the armistice of November 11. Its appeal rested on patriotic duty, and it shows how the home front was asked to pay for the war as well as support it.
