Its slogan sets it apart: "Per la Patria i mieli occhi! Per la Pace il vosto denaro," which roughly means "For the homeland, my eyes! For peace, your money." The pairing asks viewers to match the sacrifice of soldiers with the financial support of civilians. Italy financed the war partly through national loans like the Prestito Nazionale named here, and its losses in the war were severe. The record credits the U.S. Department of Labor as sponsor and the A. Hoen Company as printer, which suggests the poster was aimed at Italian speakers, possibly including Italian Americans, rather than only at readers in Italy.
