EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative French poster from the First World War era calls upon the citizens of France to invest in war bonds and contribute to the national defense effort. The powerful image features a determined soldier, his arm raised high and clutching a rifle, with the caption "Nous Les Prendrons!" or "We'll Get Them!" The use of a soldier in military uniform and a rifle reinforces the idea of direct action and the urgent need for financial support to win the war. The poster is dated between 1914 and 1918, a period when France was under immense pressure to defend itself against invading German forces. The call to action was not only a financial one, but also a moral and patriotic one, as the poster encourages citizens to do their part in the war effort. The use of the French language, the historical significance of the event, and the powerful imagery make this poster a valuable piece of historical art and a reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime. This poster is not an advertisement for a specific company, but rather a call to action from the French government to its citizens to invest in the war effort and help secure a victory in the Great War.
