An old French poster printed between the two World Wars, bearing the moral and social maxim "Whoever works must be paid – Whoever is paid must work." This type of poster was intended for schools, workshops, government offices, and workplaces, reflecting a commitment to civic education and moral discipline inherited from the republican tradition. The careful printing, classic typography, and deep blue background framed by a cream border are characteristic of educational materials from the 1930s. A powerful wall document, both graphic and historical, emblematic of the work ethic and moral education of the era.
