The poster's German line, "Hier zeichnet man die Kriegsanleihe," tells passersby where to subscribe to a war loan, and the artist is credited only as Bernhard. Germany financed its 1914 war effort largely through a series of these loans, which were sold to ordinary citizens through banks, savings institutions and public offices. Posters like this one carried the appeal into streets and storefronts, presenting lending to the state as a patriotic duty. Its color lithography and blunt call to action make it a useful look at how wartime finance was sold to the public.
