The poster asks readers to subscribe to a bond issue of the Crédit Foncier d'Algérie et de Tunisie, a land-credit bank tied to France's North African territories, which sets it apart from many wartime loan appeals that stayed on the mainland. Under the slogan "Pour la Patrie" (For the Fatherland), it belongs to the wave of state-backed loan campaigns France ran throughout the First World War to finance the army and the war economy. Posters like this were pasted in cities and towns to turn patriotic feeling into personal investment, and by 1918 the appeal to national duty was a familiar part of civilian life.
