Defense Emprunt Nationale Souscrivez Lyonnais
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster from 1917, titled "3e Emprunt de la Defense Nationale. Credit Lyonnais. Souscrivez," showcases a determined French soldier planting the flag of liberty into a large, world globe. The image is a powerful symbol of France's commitment to the cause of freedom during World War I. The "3e Emprunt de la Defense Nationale" translates to the "Third National Defense Bond," and the "Credit Lyonnais" reference indicates that the bond was being promoted by the Credit Lyonnais bank. The poster was created to encourage citizens to invest in the bond, with the tagline "Souscrivez" meaning "subscribe" in French. The image of the soldier planting the flag into the globe emphasizes the global scope of the conflict and France's role as a defender of freedom. The use of the globe also symbolizes the interconnectedness of the world and the impact that the war would have on the global community. The date of 1917 places this poster within the later stages of World War I, a time when France and its allies were making significant gains against the Central Powers. The image of the soldier planting the flag of liberty into the globe would have resonated with the French people, inspiring them to continue their support for the war effort and invest in the national defense bonds. This poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during World War I and the enduring value of freedom. Its powerful imagery continues to inspire and resonate with viewers today, making it a valuable historical artifact and an important piece of visual history.
