Banque Nationale Credit Emprunt National 1920 Cappiello French Poster
A 1920 French national loan poster by Cappiello for the Banque Nationale de Crédit, with a cornucopia of gold coins spilling over the tricolor. Dramatic midnight blues frame this historic finance print.
Description
This historic poster by Leonetto Cappiello promotes the 1920 Emprunt National, the French national loan issued through the Banque Nationale de Crédit. A great horn of plenty pours gold coins across a white and red cloth against a stormy midnight-blue sky, with shadowy figures of workers in the distance. Printed by Devambez in Paris, it is a powerful piece of postwar French financial and graphic history.
