Urging British savers to put their money into national war bonds, this color lithograph poster is dated 1918 in the record and measures roughly 75 by 50 centimeters. Britain paid for much of its First World War effort through loans and bond drives, and posters like this were a main way the government reached ordinary households, asking citizens to lend money to the state. The catalog subjects connect the design to the economic side of the war and to the British soldier, a reminder that the home front was asked to fund the fighting as well as support it.
