The slogan on this 1917 poster, "Subscribe to hasten peace through victory," makes its purpose plain: it asks French citizens to buy shares in the third National Defense Loan. France paid for much of its war effort through such loans, since taxes alone could not cover the cost of the fighting. Posters like this one went up in streets, railway stations and town squares, linking government borrowing to ordinary people's sense of duty. Its appeal is notable for presenting a financial investment as a patriotic service that could shorten the war.
