Before Sunset To-day Buy a Liberty Bond
Liberty Loan, United States Treasury, 1917
Format
Archival pigment giclée on museum-grade matte art paper, color-managed to the source scan — the flat inks and stone grain intact. The 40×60 is the room-changer.
Size
$39.00
What it is
A colour lithograph by an unnamed artist, made for the Liberty Loan of 1917, 28 by 53 cm, a sheet wider than it is tall.
Why it matters
The deadline is the day itself, and the picture turns the sky over New York into the flag the bond was bought for.
What to notice
The Statue of Liberty above New York harbor and the skyline; the night sky and the sunset form an American flag, and Liberty's torch is one of its stars.
A deadline, set by the sun.
