A bell paired with a hand gives this German poster its call to action, with the bell suggesting an alarm or summons to the home front. Germany financed much of its World War I effort through a series of public war loans, and posters like this one, urging citizens to "subscribe" to the eighth loan, were part of a wide campaign that reached factory workers, shopkeepers, and families alike. The eighth loan came in the war's final stretch, when the government leaned heavily on private savings to keep the war effort funded. Notice how the design relies on a single bold symbol and a short imperative rather than detailed scenes, a style typical of wartime propaganda meant to be read at a glance.
