All Canada your security : Victory Bonds Accession Number: ARTV00475

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 is text only and urges Canadians to buy Victory Bonds due to the security they offer as an investment. The title is positioned in the upper quarter, with the subtitle in the lower quarter, both in white outlined light blue. The text is positioned in the centre, in blue against a light blue rectangle. All set against a blue background. A French language version of this poster was also issued (see ARTV00476).
