Unmasking the peace loan
Description
Australian post-war poster appealing to viewers to apply for 'Peace Loans' which were needed to recoup the cost of the war. Peace loans functioned along the same lines of the War Loans, in that people 'lent' the government money in return for interest. This poster depicts an Australian naval ship heading back home; it is surrounded by a wreath of laurel, and flanked by the Union Jack and the Australian flag. The text and image are positioned against a yellow background.
