A chariot drawn across the sheet and the words "Zeichnet Achte Kriegsanleihe" tell the viewer to subscribe to Germany's Eighth War Loan in 1918. The chariot is a classical emblem of victory and forward momentum, and the poster uses it to suggest that buying bonds would carry the country toward triumph. By 1918 the war had dragged on for more than four years, and the government relied on these bond drives, promoted with posters like this one, to raise money from ordinary savers as well as banks and wealthy investors. That makes the poster useful evidence of how the state sought civilian support for the war effort.
