What it is
A colour lithograph Howard Chandler Christy drew for the Third Liberty Loan of 1918, 75 by 51 cm, sheet No. 3A.
Why it matters
The Third Liberty Loan opened in April 1918. The Library of Congress dates the sheet to 1917; the loan it names fixes it to 1918, and the Atlas files it there.
What to notice
A woman in white waving the American flag while soldiers march behind her, under a title that leaves the reader two choices.
