EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative and powerful British information poster from 1915, published by the Parliamentary War Savings Committee and printed by Sir Joseph Causton and Sons Limited, calls upon the public to "Turn Your Silver into Bullets at the Post Office." The chromolithograph design, artist unknown, features cupped hands overflowing with coins that transform into bullets as they leave the hands. This poignant image served as an advertisement for war loan vouchers during World War I, encouraging citizens to contribute financially to the war effort. The poster was part of a larger campaign to mobilize resources for the front lines and was a common sight in homes and public spaces throughout Britain during this critical period in history. The transformation of coins into bullets symbolizes the sacrifice and unity required to support the war effort and ultimately, to secure a victory for the Allies. This historical artifact is a poignant reminder of the ways in which individuals could make a difference during wartime, even through small acts of financial contribution.
