About the Item

Amid the tumult of World War I, propaganda posters served as essential tools for rallying support and communicating crucial messages to the public. One such poster from this era is the 1918 creation by celebrated French artist Georges Clairin, titled "Pour la Patrie - Souscrivez à l'emprunt Crédit Foncier d’Algérie et de Tunisie." This powerful artwork encapsulates the spirit of its time and played a pivotal role in bolstering the war effort and encouraging financial contributions. Georges Clairin, renowned for his portraiture and involvement in Belle Époque and Art Nouveau movements, lent his artistic talent to support the war effort during World War I. His 1918 poster is a striking visual masterpiece, designed to inspire financial contributions for the war effort. The poster conveys a sense of unity and duty, emphasizing the importance of collective sacrifice. The title, "Pour la Patrie" (For the Fatherland), leaves no room for ambiguity: it urges every French citizen to make financial contributions to support the war effort. Published in 1918, the poster was a crucial tool in rallying public support at a time when France urgently required financial resources to sustain its military endeavors in the war's final stages. It highlights the unity of the French empire, emphasizing that all regions and colonies must come together in support of the homeland. The inclusion of Algerian and Tunisian flags signifies the collective strength of the entire French nation. Economy - War 14-18 - North Africa Devambez Paris
