Issued by the Comptoir National d'Escompte de Paris, one of the large French commercial banks, this 1918 poster promotes a national war loan, a bond offering that let ordinary citizens help finance the army. By 1918 France was borrowing heavily to pay for the war, and bond drives like this one relied on posters to reach people across the country. Banks such as the Comptoir acted as sales agents, so the bank's name appears alongside the government's appeal. Posters of this kind were meant to link buying a bond with patriotic duty, and they remain useful records of how wartime finance was presented to the public.
