EDITORS COMMENTS
This vivid and powerful French military poster from World War I, published by the British Library in 1981, is a colorful chromolithograph designed by Simay. The image depicts a fearless tank charging over barbed wire defenses, symbolizing the relentless advance of the Allied forces towards victory. The poster's inscription reads, "Do Your Duty! Subscribe to the War Loan," urging everyone, both in France and beyond, to contribute financially to the war effort. The poster was published during a critical moment in the conflict, as the Allied forces were making significant gains against the Central Powers. The use of a tank, a relatively new and formidable weapon on the battlefield, underscores the technological advancements and determination of the Allied forces. The poster was produced by the National Provincial and Lloyds Bank, two major financial institutions in the United Kingdom, to encourage individuals to invest in war bonds and loans. The funds raised would help provide the necessary resources for the military to continue their efforts in securing freedom and peace. This historical artifact serves as a poignant reminder of the collective spirit and resilience of the people during wartime. The image of the tank overcoming the barbed wire, a symbol of resistance and obstacles, resonates with the determination and unwavering commitment to the cause. The poster's call to action, "Do Your Duty! Subscribe to the War Loan," continues to inspire us today, reminding us of the importance of unity and sacrifice in times of adversity.
