Its subject headings link this lithograph to the Statue of Liberty, which sets it apart from other French war-loan posters of the period. The title, *Pour la liberté du monde*, urges readers to subscribe to the national loan at the Banque Nationale de Crédit, and the signature "SEM" belongs to the caricaturist Georges Goursat. With France financing the war through repeated public loans, and the United States entering the war in April 1917, the appeal tied French sacrifice to American ideals of liberty.
