"Remember Belgium: A Call to Arms for War Loans in 1918" In the midst of World War I, nations across the globe turned to war loans as a means to finance their military efforts and ensure victory. The powerful imagery captured in these vibrant colour lithographs served as potent reminders of the urgency and importance of supporting these campaigns. The "Banque Francaise for commerce and industry" lithograph from 1918 depicts a scene that evokes both patriotism and determination. It urges citizens to subscribe for the victory and triumph of liberty, emphasizing the collective responsibility towards securing freedom. Similarly, the "National Loan. Societe Generale" lithograph also from 1918 showcases a striking image that conveys unity amidst adversity. It encourages individuals to contribute towards this national cause, highlighting how every subscription brings them closer to achieving their shared goals. The Austrian Fund Raising Campaign's "Zeichnet die siebente Kriegsanleihe" lithograph published in 1917 presents an emotive depiction urging citizens to invest in their country's future. With its vivid colours and bold typography, it seeks support for Austria's seventh war loan by reminding people of their duty during this critical time. Meanwhile, Germany's Kolonial-Krieger-Spende lithograph published in Berlin in 1918 appeals directly to colonial soldiers' families. It calls upon them to donate generously towards supporting those who fought on behalf of German colonies abroad. Across borders, France launched its own campaign with Emprunt de la Liberation by Ste. Gle. de Credit Industriel & Commercial around 1917-18. This colourful lithograph captures attention with its patriotic symbolism while encouraging subscriptions for liberation bonds. Even Algeria joined forces through Compagnie Algerienne's captivating poster from 1918 which aimed at rallying financial support within its own community during wartime hardships. Across the Atlantic Ocean, America sought contributions through Liberty Loans promoted by the Banque d'Alsace et de Lorraine in 1918.
