Are you colour -blind? Invest..in the "Diggers' Loan"...
Description
Australian First World War poster issued by the Commonwealth Government of Australia to promote the sale of bonds in a Diggers' Loan for repatriation purposes. The poster is titled at the top with a large blank rectangle outlined in black positioned lower centre. It asks the viewer to take a 'Colour-Blind' test and equates the choice not to invest in a ten pound bond with blindness as the loans were reputed to be extremely safe investments.
