About the Item

The Souscrivez à la Banque Industrielle de Chine – Emprunt de la Paix poster is a striking reflection of the financial and geopolitical landscape of the early 20th century. Created around 1920, this piece was part of a broader campaign encouraging investment in China’s economic development through French-backed bonds. It symbolizes the growing financial ties between Europe and Asia in the post-World War I era, highlighting the role of international banking in economic reconstruction and modernization. At a time when global economies were reeling from the devastation of war, financial institutions sought to attract investors by promoting stability and future prosperity. The Banque Industrielle de Chine, founded in 1913 with both French and Chinese interests, played a crucial role in funding infrastructure projects and industrial expansion in China. This poster would have served as a call to action, urging citizens to contribute to economic growth while securing their own financial future. With its compelling design and persuasive messaging, Emprunt de la Paix emphasized the promise of economic recovery, international cooperation, and the benefits of strategic investment. The visual elements likely included symbols of industry, progress, and cross-cultural collaboration, reinforcing confidence in the financial venture. Today, this historical poster remains a testament to early 20th-century global finance and the ambitions of postwar economic rebuilding. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of commerce, diplomacy, and visual propaganda in an era of rapid transformation. War - Economy - China - Peace loan Creté - Paris

Original poster from 1920 For peace, subscribe to the industrial bank of China
Located in PARIS, FR
Beautiful historical poster from 1920. Borrowing for peace, subscribe to the industrial bank of China. Several national loans were issued during the economic history of modern France. These national loans take place in times of war when the public finances are in trouble, as well as in times of peace when it is necessary to launch certain projects and the public debt remains high. If the State lacked cash and taxes were no longer sufficient, a loan sometimes became necessary. In order to encourage the population to subscribe massively to these loans, governments used propaganda, notably through posters that titillated the nationalist fibre.

1918 original poster by Adolphe Willette, for the Banque de l'Union Parisienne
By Adolphe Willette
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1918 original poster by Adolphe Willette, created for the Banque de l'Union Parisienne, is a compelling piece of wartime propaganda, urging citizens to contribute to the fourth national loan (4e Emprunt National). This poster, titled Pour que la France soit victorieuse comme à Valmy! (So that France may be victorious like at Valmy!), is a poignant call to action, blending historical reference with patriotic fervor to inspire public support during the final year of World War I. Adolphe Willette, a prominent French painter, illustrator, and political cartoonist, was known for his evocative and often satirical works. During the war, artists like Willette played a crucial role in shaping public sentiment and encouraging national unity through their art. This particular poster exemplifies his ability to harness the power of visual storytelling to evoke a sense of duty and pride in the French populace. The poster references the Battle of Valmy...
