What it is
A colour lithograph by an unnamed artist, made for the Liberty Loan Committee of the Third Federal District in Philadelphia, 28 by 52 cm, from the Willard and Dorothy Straight Collection; the Library of Congress dates it to 1917 with a question mark.
Why it matters
The war ends quickest with the Liberty Loan soonest sold, the text says, and it sends the reader to any bank, banker or trust company, to his employer, or to the Committee at 108 South Fourth Street for a free folder.
What to notice
A German helmet with a question mark set over it.
The enemy's helmet, turned into a question.
