This color lithograph carries the German title *Schluss der Zeichnung auf Kriegsanleihe*, which translates roughly as "Closing of the subscription for war bonds," and it is credited to a designer named Bernhard. It announces the final day for buying into a government war loan in 1918, when Germany paid for its war effort largely by borrowing from its own citizens. The poster's urgent message reflects a home-front campaign that asked ordinary Germans to lend their savings to the state, and it shows how the war was fought on the economic front as well as the battlefield.
