What it is
A colour lithograph Lawrence Harris drew for the Third Liberty Loan of 1918, printed by the Sackett & Wilhelms Litho. & Prt. Co., 76 by 50 cm, sheet 9-A.
Why it matters
The Third Liberty Loan opened in April 1918, and the son on this sheet divides the work: he goes to fight for Old Glory, and his father buys the government's bonds.
What to notice
A young man in uniform shakes the hand of an older man, with farms in the distance. Harris signed on the stone at lower left, and the signature reads Lawrenc, its last letter missing.
A farewell, split into two duties.
