A figure of Lady Justice, holding her scales and sword, sets this German poster apart from many war loan appeals that showed soldiers or factories. The poster urges Germans to subscribe to the Eighth War Loan, the government's campaign to fund the war by borrowing from its own citizens. The drive ran in the autumn of 1918, when four years of fighting had strained the economy and Germany's military position was worsening. Posters like this one hung in streets, post offices and workplaces, framing a bond purchase as a patriotic duty as much as a financial choice.
