About the Item
The 1917 original poster by Abel Faivre, titled “3e Emprunt de la Défense Nationale – Crédit Lyonnais – Liberté”, is a striking example of World War I propaganda, blending art with patriotism to rally public support for the French war effort. Created during a critical moment in the war, this poster reflects the vital role that art played in mobilizing resources and instilling a sense of unity and purpose among citizens.
The “3e Emprunt de la Défense Nationale” (Third National Defense Loan) was one of several war bond campaigns initiated by the French government to finance their efforts during World War I. With the financial strain of prolonged conflict, these campaigns became indispensable for sustaining military operations and supporting the economy. This poster, commissioned by the prominent bank Crédit Lyonnais, was part of a broader effort to encourage French citizens to invest in these bonds as a patriotic duty.
Abel Faivre, a renowned artist and illustrator of the time, was known for his ability to convey powerful messages through his work. His talent for combining evocative imagery with concise messaging made him a prominent figure in the wartime propaganda movement. In this poster, he appeals to the values of “Liberté” (Liberty), a principle deeply rooted in French national identity and central to the narrative of defending France against foreign aggression.
The campaign reflects a broader strategy of rallying support by appealing to citizens’ emotions and sense of duty. War bonds were not merely financial instruments; they were framed as symbols of loyalty, sacrifice, and collective resistance. By purchasing bonds, citizens were made to feel directly involved in the war effort, supporting their troops and ensuring the defense of their homeland.
For collectors and historians, this poster is an important artifact of World War I. It encapsulates the intersection of art, finance, and propaganda during a period when nations relied heavily on the power of visual communication to influence public behavior. Faivre’s work, with its masterful balance of artistic finesse and emotional appeal, stands as a testament to the enduring role of art in shaping societal action during times of crisis.
This piece remains a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and mobilization efforts undertaken during World War I. Its historical significance and artistic merit make it a valuable addition to any collection focused on wartime propaganda, French history, or early 20th-century graphic art.

Circa 1915 French wartime propaganda original poster of World War I
Located in PARIS, FR
This circa 1915 French wartime propaganda poster is a striking example of World War I-era rationing efforts, emphasizing collective sacrifice and equitable distribution. Designed under the direction of the Comité de Prévoyance et d’Économies, this poster encouraged the French population to ration essential goods, particularly sugar, during the war.
At the heart of the artwork is a symbolic sugar loaf, partially cut by a saber, visually reinforcing the message of dividing resources fairly. The text reads:
"Avec la carte, nous en aurons peu – mais nous en aurons tous."
("With the ration card, we will have little – but we will all have some.")
This message aimed to instill a sense of national solidarity and compliance with rationing policies. The lower inscription, "Casse aujourd’hui ton sucre en deux pour en avoir demain?" ("Break your sugar in half today to have some tomorrow?"), serves as a direct appeal to personal responsibility in wartime resource management.
The bold yet simple color scheme (blue, red, black, and beige) gives the poster a striking visual identity, making it both an effective propaganda piece and a historically significant artifact.
This rare wartime poster is a powerful reminder of civilian resilience and the role of public cooperation in wartime economies. Due to its historical importance and striking design, it remains highly collectible, particularly among WWI memorabilia...
