Printed as a color lithograph in 1917, this tall, narrow poster (about 198 by 68 centimeters) invites readers to subscribe to the National Loan at five percent through the Banco di Roma. It reflects how Italy paid for its part in the First World War: a large share of the cost was met by borrowing from its own citizens, and posters like this one urged ordinary savers to lend. The record lists soldiers and fathers with children among its subjects, which ties the appeal to families whose men were at the front and whose futures depended on the war's outcome. The poster is by Aurelio Craffonara.
