EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful propaganda poster from 1915, created by the renowned French artist Francisque Poulbot, was designed to encourage French citizens to contribute to war loans and help finance the ongoing costs of World War I. The title, "Emprunt de la defense nationale, N'oubliez pas de souscrire... pour la victoire !... et le retour," translates to "National Defense Bond, Do Not Forget to Subscribe... for Victory!... and the Return." The poignant image depicts a group of people from all walks of life, gathered around an elderly relative, who represents the past and the future of France. The old man, dressed in traditional French clothing, holds a small child in his arms, symbolizing the future generation. A young boy and girl stand beside him, looking on with determination and resolve. The people in the scene are shown in profile, creating a sense of unity and solidarity. The use of engravings adds to the somber and serious tone of the poster, emphasizing the importance of the cause. The vertical and upright orientation of the design draws the viewer's attention to the central message, while the simple yet effective use of text reinforces the call to action. Francisque Poulbot's illustration was a common sight during World War I, as propaganda posters played a crucial role in rallying support for the war effort. This particular poster serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during that time and the importance of unity and perseverance in the face of adversity.
