Social Security poster showing massive inflation

Started by Bismarck in the mid-1880s, Germany's social security system was intended to bring peace to turbulent labor relations. This poster honors the 11 billlion marks paid out by the system from its inception in 1885 to 1913.

The poster's header translates to "German social security is exemplary and unmatched throughout the world"
