Effort Emprunt Generale Pour Societe Supreme
EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and symbolic image, titled "Emprunt National. Societe Generale. Pour le supreme effort" (National Loan. Societe Generale. For the supreme effort), dates back to 1918 during the final stages of World War I. The poster, which is now a historical artifact, was created to galvanize the French population into making one last, Herculean effort to support the war effort. The central figure in the poster is a French soldier, his face etched with determination and grit, as he strangles the Imperial Eagle, a symbol of Germany's power and might. The eagle, once a fearsome and intimidating creature, lies helplessly in the soldier's grip, its eyes wide with terror. The soldier's uniform is tattered and worn, reflecting the harsh realities of war and the sacrifices being made by the French people. The background of the poster is a chaotic scene of battle, with explosions and smoke filling the air. The caption, "Emprunt National. Societe Generale. Pour le supreme effort," urges the French people to dig deep and contribute to the national loan, a call to arms for financial support for the war effort. The poster was produced by Societe Generale, a leading French financial institution, which played a crucial role in financing the war. This powerful and evocative poster is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the French people during a time of great adversity. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the importance of unity and perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds.
