What it is
A poster Charles Raymond Macauley drew for the Liberty Loan of 1917, from the Missouri Historical Society copy on Wikimedia Commons; the Library of Congress holds the design under 00652903 and 00652900.
Why it matters
Liberty points at the viewer the way Flagg's Uncle Sam does, and the seal in the lower left reads Get Behind the Government, Liberty Loan of 1917.
What to notice
The Statue of Liberty staring and pointing at the viewer, with the seal of the Liberty Loan of 1917 at bottom left.
The statue leaves her pedestal to point.
