The title points to the French 75-millimeter field gun, the artillery piece central to France's defense in 1914 and 1915, and the poster pairs that gun with Marshal Joseph Joffre, the French commander-in-chief in the war's first year, shown with a pointing finger. It advertises *La Route du 75*, a serialized war and espionage novel by Paul Divoi, published by L'Information. Posters like this were a common way to promote wartime fiction in France, where readers followed the war closely and eagerly consumed stories tied to real events and famous figures.
