EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WWI poster, titled "War Loan, Invest Five Shillings," was created by the Parliamentary War Savings Committee in 1916 to encourage citizens to contribute financially towards the war effort. The poster features a powerful image of St. George, the English patron saint, astride a white horse and slaying a dragon. The heroic scene is set against a backdrop of green and white, symbolizing the British flag. The call to action is clear: "Invest Five Shillings and help your country to win." The image of a simple five-shilling coin, depicted below St. George's foot, underscores the accessibility of this patriotic investment. The poster's simple yet effective design, combined with its historical significance, makes it a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War. The Parliamentary War Savings Committee was established in 1915 to help finance the war effort through public savings. This poster was one of many produced during the war to encourage citizens to invest in war bonds, loans, and savings certificates. The poster's powerful imagery and clear call to action likely resonated with the British public, who were eager to support their country during this time of great need. Today, this poster is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the wartime spirit and the collective efforts of the British people during WWI. Its enduring appeal lies in its powerful imagery and its reminder of the sacrifices made during a pivotal moment in history.
