A hand grips a crowned yellow dollar sign as a sword, piercing through a green dragon marked with a Nazi swastika. The composition sits against a dark background, with bold white text declaring "HELP FINISH THE JOB" and red and blue banners framing the message "IT'S IN YOUR HANDS" and "BUY VICTORY BONDS".

Designed by L. Trevor for the Canadian government's wartime fundraising campaign, circa 1940-1945. This poster represents the era when financial support was portrayed as literal warfare against fascism, using the dollar as both symbol and weapon. The modernist approach strips away detail to focus on bold, symbolic imagery.

Trevor's design transforms economic participation into heroic action, with the crowned dollar suggesting both Canadian allegiance and the power of collective investment. The stark contrast between the golden dollar-sword and the defeated green dragon creates a visual narrative of good triumphing over evil through collective financial support.

A historical document from Canada's home front effort, reproduced as an archival print on 200gsm Enhanced Matte Fine Art Paper. Appeals to collectors of wartime propaganda and those drawn to the bold visual language of 1940s graphic design.
