EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster from 1918, titled "Emprunt 4% 1918... l Emprunt de la Defense Nationale" (The National Defense Loan 4% 1918), showcases the indomitable spirit of the French people during a pivotal moment in their history. The image in the foreground features the Gallic rooster, a symbol of France, proudly strutting amongst golden rays of sunlight, its gaze fixed on the viewer with unwavering determination. Behind the rooster stands a statue of Joan of Arc, the legendary warrior maiden who led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War. The scene is set against a backdrop of the flags of the Allied Powers, symbolizing unity and solidarity among the nations fighting against the Central Powers in World War I. Above the flags, a radiant sunburst emblazoned with the words "Pro Patria" (For the Fatherland) shines brightly, emphasizing the deep-rooted patriotism that fueled the French people's resolve to defend their nation. This powerful poster was created to encourage the French public to contribute to the National Defense Loan, a financial effort aimed at raising funds for the war effort. The 4% interest rate offered on these loans was a significant incentive for citizens to invest their savings, and the evocative imagery on this poster would have resonated deeply with the population, inspiring them to unite in the face of adversity and support their country's war efforts. This poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and resilience demonstrated by the French people during World War I, and it stands as a testament to the enduring power of symbolism and patriotism in times of crisis.
