EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WWI-era print, titled "National Loan Scheme from French Bank Societe Generale," showcases the powerful symbolism of French patriotism and the collective effort to defeat Germany during the First World War. Circa 1916, this poster was a potent tool of propaganda, designed to inspire and rally support from the French people. The image features a determined and resolute French soldier, his face set with determination as he chokes back tears. The black eagle of the German Imperial Army, a symbol of power and aggression, lies crushed beneath his feet. The soldier's uniform is adorned with the insignia of the Supreme War Council, signifying his unwavering commitment to the French war effort. The eagle's wings are spread wide, its eyes closed in defeat, as the soldier's hands grasp the reins of the French national loan scheme. The words "National Loan Scheme" are emblazoned in bold, patriotic font, with the words "Societe Generale" appearing below. The feathers of the eagle's wings form a backdrop for the words "Crushing the Enemy," emphasizing the importance of financial support in the war effort. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War and the role that patriotism and collective action played in the eventual victory of the Allied forces. The image of the soldier, standing strong against the backdrop of the fallen eagle, is a powerful symbol of the resilience and determination of the French people during this tumultuous time in history.
