Zeichnet Kriegsanleihe!" ("Subscribe to the war loan!") is a German-language call to buy government bonds, printed in Vienna around 1917 by Paul Gerin from a design by P. Aeschke. The poster pairs the landmark St. Stephen's Cathedral with a knight, a combination that ties the appeal to the city's identity and to a medieval Austrian past. During the First World War, the Habsburg government raised large sums through repeated war loan drives, and posters like this one were a main tool for persuading ordinary citizens to lend their savings to the state. It shows how wartime finance was presented to the public as a patriotic duty.
