Flags of France and the United States share the frame here, with a battleship beside them, a pairing that points to the Allied alliance after the United States entered the war in April 1917. Signed by A. Romay, this color lithograph urges viewers to subscribe to the Emprunt de la Défense Nationale, or National Defense Loan, at the Banque Adam. French governments financed the war through such bond drives, and posters like this one were aimed at ordinary citizens as much as at investors.
