EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster, dating back to 1917, prominently features a soldier in profile, donning a helmet and gazing intently into the distance. The title "Zeichnet 5 1/2% dritte Kriegs-Anleihe" is emblazoned across the top in bold, black letters. The term "Anleihe" translates to "loan" in English, indicating that this poster was likely used to promote the sale of war bonds during World War I. The number "dritte" signifies that this was the third issue of these war bonds being sold to the public. The 5 1/2% referenced in the title indicates the interest rate that investors could expect to receive on their investment. The use of a military figure on the poster was a common tactic employed by governments during times of war to rally support and encourage citizens to invest in war bonds. The soldier's determined expression and the stark, monochromatic color palette of the poster serve to emphasize the gravity of the situation and the importance of contributing to the war effort. This poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during times of war and the role that ordinary citizens played in supporting their countries through financial contributions. It also serves as a fascinating historical artifact, offering insights into the visual language and design aesthetics of the early 20th century.
