EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster from 1915, titled "Achetez des timbres d'épargne de guerre" (Buy War Savings Stamps), depicts a determined young factory worker in overalls, proudly holding a Canada War Savings Certificate booklet. The poster, created during World War I, was part of a larger campaign to encourage citizens to contribute to the war effort through the purchase of war savings stamps. The image of the factory worker, with his strong and calloused hands, symbolizes the working class's vital role in supporting the war effort. The War Savings Certificates were a popular form of investment during wartime, allowing individuals to save money while also contributing to the war effort. The certificates could be purchased with small denomination savings stamps, which were often sold in schools, post offices, and other public spaces. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with bold text and a clear message. The red, white, and blue color palette reflects the patriotic spirit of the time, and the image of the worker's sturdy boots and the certificate booklet in his hand emphasizes the idea of solidarity and collective action. This poster is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and contributions made by ordinary people during wartime, and the importance of coming together to support a common cause. It also serves as a testament to the enduring power of visual communication in inspiring and mobilizing people towards a shared goal.
