They serve France, How can I serve Canada? Buy Victory bonds. Accession Number: ARTV00468

Description

Canadian First World War poster issued by the Government to promote the sale of Victory Bonds to finance the war effort. As in other Commonwealth countries Canadian Victory bonds were loans offered by the Government which matured with interest after 5, 10 or 20 years. In Canada there were 5 different Victory loan campaigns between 1915 and 1919 each with its own supporting poster campaign co-ordinated by the Victory Loan Dominion Publicity Committee. This poster depicting three French women drawing a plough in a field instead of horses suggests that buying victory bonds is an equivalent service for Canadians. The title is positioned in the lower quarter, with the subtitle in the upper right and lower centre.
