Emprunt National 1918 – “Souscrivez pour la Victoire” by B. Chavannaz
An original World War I French poster created by B. Chavannaz in 1917 for the Emprunt National war loan campaign, printed by Imp. Crété in Paris. This powerful design symbolizes the Allied coalition as victory drew near, following America’s entry into the war.
The composition shows an American, a Frenchman, and an Englishman riding together on a massive tank of the era, their national flags proudly flying. Above them, a golden Marianne—the personification of France—lifts a laurel wreath of victory, embodying Allied strength and unity. Issued to encourage citizens to subscribe to the national loan, it stands as one of the most compelling images of WWI propaganda.
This lithograph measures 31 × 47 in. and has been professionally mounted on linen. It is preserved in excellent “A” condition, with bright colors and strong presentation.
