EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the moment of burial for a fallen German soldier during the final days of World War I. The setting is the Banque Industrielle de Chine's (Fourth National Loan, Industrial Bank of China) poster campaign in 1918, urging French citizens to contribute to the war effort through national loans. The poster, a powerful propaganda tool, depicted the consequences of continuing the war effort versus the benefits of peace and economic prosperity. The soldier's tragic demise serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of war, while the bags of gold being thrown on top of him symbolize the financial gains that could be achieved through the success of the war and the subsequent national loans. The Industrial Bank of China's Fourth National Loan campaign was a significant financial success, raising millions of francs for the French war effort. This poster, with its evocative imagery and strong message, reflects the profound impact of the war on both the financial and emotional landscapes of the time. The image of the soldier being buried by gold serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the importance of unity and perseverance in the face of adversity.
