Under the blunt command "Verser son or" ("Give your gold"), this French poster asks readers to hand over their gold and subscribe to National Defense bonds, calling it "a duty." France paid for much of its war effort through loans, and campaigns like this one urged ordinary citizens to lend their savings and metal to the state. The record dates the piece to 1920, after the armistice, but its message belongs to the wartime fundraising drives of 1914 to 1918, so the date may reflect a later printing or cataloguing rather than the poster's first appearance.
