EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WWI German war loan poster, created circa 1918 by the Centralbank of Germany, calls upon its citizens to contribute to the war effort through savings and investments. The poster features a pair of eagles perched atop snow-capped mountains, their double-headed crests symbolizing the unity and strength of the German people. The eagles' outstretched wings create a sense of protection and security, while their fierce gazes convey determination and resolve. The text at the bottom of the poster reads, "Deutsche Kriegsanleihe" or "German War Loan," emphasizing the importance of financial support for the ongoing war effort. The use of the mountains and snowy landscape adds a sense of grandeur and scale to the message, as if to convey that the challenges facing Germany during this time were monumental and required the collective effort of all citizens. The Centralbank's call to action was a common tactic during wartime, as governments sought to mobilize their populations and resources to fund military operations. This powerful and evocative poster serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and resilience of the German people during the First World War, and the role that financial institutions played in supporting the war effort.
