EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating French World War I poster, created by Sem (Georges Goursat) in the early 20th century, serves as a powerful reminder of the wartime propaganda that encouraged citizens to support their country through the purchase of war bonds. The poster features a soldier marching forward with determination, his bayonet fixed and helmet adorned with patriotic symbols. The caption reads: "Pour le dernier quart d'heure. . . aidez-moi! Les souscriptions à l'Emprunt National sont reçues à la Banque Nationale de Crédit" which translates to "For the last quarter hour. . . help me! Subscriptions to the National Loan are received at the National Credit Bank". The image evokes a sense of urgency and unity, urging viewers to contribute financially to their nation's cause. It highlights both the financial burden faced by governments during times of war and the importance of individual contributions in supporting military efforts on the Western Front. As we reflect on this piece from over a century ago, it serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice, patriotism, and collective responsibility during times of conflict. The vivid colors and bold design draw attention to this historical artifact that not only captures an important moment in history but also showcases artistic talent within wartime propaganda.
