This powerful vintage poster attempts to promote French war efforts through bonds. The dramatic image shows a French soldier in the nude defeating a German imperial eagle, a tug-of-war scene happening with the French flag. The detailing of this original poster is incredible, from the taunt muscles of the soldier to the shrouding of light in the background.
