Few things in this sheet's record stand out as much as its pairing of soldiers with a doorway, a threshold that suggests the public being invited to step forward. Karl Libesny designed it for the eighth Austrian war loan of 1918, one of the bond drives that helped finance Austria-Hungary's war effort. Posters like this were a main tool of those campaigns, asking ordinary households to lend money to the state.
