The word *Souscrivez*, or "subscribe," frames this poster as a direct appeal to ordinary citizens rather than a call to enlist or a plea for factory work. It promoted the third National Defense Loan of 1917, one of a series of government bonds through which France financed a war that had already lasted three years. Posters like this one aimed to turn savers into lenders and to make buying a bond feel like a patriotic duty. Its bold lettering and mass-printed format reflect the illustrated placards that were a main channel for wartime persuasion in France.
