Its slogan, "Pour le retour, souscrivez," ties the purchase of a bond directly to bringing soldiers home, a more personal appeal than the abstract patriotism common in many wartime posters. The poster advertised the Fourth National Loan of 1918, one of several French government bond drives that helped pay for the war as the national debt grew. Such posters were displayed in towns and cities across France, asking ordinary citizens, including those with modest savings, to lend money to the state. Look at how the image and the short command work together to turn a financial transaction into a question of family and duty.
