What it is
A colour lithograph by an unidentified artist, sponsored by the United Cigar Stores Company for the Liberty Loan of 1918, 92 by 52 cm, signed with a monogram the Library of Congress could not identify.
Why it matters
Liberty bonds paid for the American war, and shops carried the appeal as well as banks: this sheet was paid for by the United Cigar Stores Company.
What to notice
The figure of Victory with a sailor and a soldier.
Victory, flanked and waiting to be paid for.
