Anonymous - Banca Italiana di Sconto - Domenica 18 Marzo - Banca Italiana di Sconto - 1920s

A very rare, large-format vintage wall poster, issued by the Banca Italiana di Sconto in March 1918, during the closing stages of the First World War, to promote subscriptions to the national loan (“Give money for Victory: Victory is peace”).

The poster is a fascinating example of period propaganda typography, featuring bold black lettering on ivory paper. It was addressed to the public to announce the exceptional opening of the bank’s offices in Rome (Via Parlamento, Piazza di Spagna and Via Nazionale) to collect subscriptions.
