Poster no. 22 makes its case in its title, "War loan. Lend your savings to the nation to-day," speaking directly to the reader's own purse. Issued in London around 1915, it belongs to a wave of wartime posters that urged ordinary people to lend money to the government through war bonds instead of keeping spare cash idle. Britain paid for much of the war by borrowing, and campaigns like this one reached small savers as well as the wealthy. The printer, Sir Joseph Causton & Sons, was a major London firm that produced many official government posters of the period.
