The slogan does most of the work here: "Bring him home with the Victory Loan" links a purchase of government bonds to the return of a single soldier. Canada financed much of its share of the First World War through public loan drives, and posters like this one carried those appeals into streets, shop windows, and public buildings. The record describes it as a color lithograph, a process that let printers make bold, inexpensive runs for wide display. The item's former owner, the Rehse Archiv für Zeitgeschichte und Publizistik, a German archive of contemporary history and propaganda material, reflects how such ephemera were collected as evidence of wartime persuasion.
