51-4720Paris : Devambez Imp. 1918 . Original lithograph poster. 78 x 116cm. Repaired and mounted on cloth by the artisan binder Sasha Mosalov. .Cette affiche de la Banque nationale de crédit BNC réalisée par l’affichiste Georges Goursat dit Sem 1863-1934 appelle à participer au 4e emprunt de la défense nationale.'''.Georges Goursat who adopted the pseudoymn SEM was a well-known French caricaturist of the Belle Epoque. During the war however he chose to put aside his amusing portraits of French celebrities to work as a war artist and journalist. His war work characteristically mixed humor with tragedy as in his 1917 book Un Pékin sur le Front A Civilian at the Front. His illustrations of French soldiers in Un Pékin undoubtedly served as a model for the infantrymen in this poster.Created late in the war this poster shows Marshal Ferdinand Foch and two members of his staff observing French troops on the march through the shell-cratered terrain of northern France. Following the German-Russian peace treaty of March 1918 the German Army massed its entire military force on the Western Front for a final and formidable assault on the Allied troops. Throughout the war the various Allied troops had failed to work together successfully and in April of 1918 Foch was appointed Supreme Commander of the Allies with a mandate to organize the different national militaries into one powerful army. The depiction of the French advancement as well as the title suggest that this poster was produced during the Hundred Days Offensive August-November 1918 which led to Germany’s defeat.Summary Poster depicting General Ferdinand Foch 1851-1929 overseeing his troops as they march across the battlefield. Foch was appointed commander in chief of the Allied armies in 1918.Quand les banques contribuent à l’effort de guerreLes banques françaises ont apporté un appui décisif au financement de la guerre 1914-1918 puis de la reconstruction.Alors que les pouvoirs publics font face à des besoins financiers exceptionnels liés à la durée du conflit ils lancent 4 grands « emprunts de la défense nationale » 1915 1916 1917 et 1918.De leur côté les banques mobilisent leur réseaux afin de drainer l’épargne des Français.

Bolo orchestrated a massive anti-war propaganda campaign in France using $2.5 million in German funds-funneled through the Egyptian Khedive Abbas Hilmi. After the plot was unmasked Bolo who had adopted the title "Bolo Pasha" was convicted of treason and executed by firing squad in April 1918. Across 68 masterful lithographic sketches the renowned caricaturist Sem Georges Goursat documents the tension of the proceedings. His sharp economical lines bring to life the judge the defiant defendant and the parade of witnesses. While Sem is best known for his whimsical depictions of the Belle Epoque elite this work demonstrates his keen eye for the psychological weight of a national crisis. Georges Goursat better known as Sem was the premier social chronicler of his age. A regular contributor to France's leading periodicals his work remains highly esteemed today for its ability to capture the essence of the French ruling class with equal parts wit and precision. unknown
