![The image depicts a vintage poster titled "Pour la Victoire souscrivez à l'Emprunt: Banque Suisse & Française [1916]." The main visual element is an engraving of the Greek goddess Victory, depicted with wings and holding a laurel wreath in one hand and what appears to be a flag or banner in the other. She stands against a beige background.
The poster contains text in French, encouraging viewers to subscribe for victory by subscribing to war bonds issued by Banque Suisse & Française. It provides details on various aspects of the bond issuing process such as price per share (88.75 francs), duration with interest payments (immediate 87.50% and immediate payment within a year at 16%) and redemption rate (5.70%). The poster also includes historical references to past bonds, mentioning years like 1821, 1843, and others.
The text is arranged in several sections with varying font sizes for emphasis, such as "Pour la Victoire" which stands out prominently at the top in red lettering. Additional information about subscribing on different locations of Paris (e.g., The Louvre, Eiffel Tower) and other cities like Marseille are provided towards the bottom.
The overall design suggests a call to action during wartime fundraising efforts through bond sales, aiming to rally support for national defense initiatives.](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/620/698/778/824/412/small/282ce85a2cb6136b.jpeg)
