What it is
A colour lithograph by an unnamed artist, made for the Victory Liberty Loan of 1919, 28 by 54 cm, a sheet wider than it is tall.
Why it matters
The Victory Liberty Loan came in the spring of 1919, after the Armistice, to pay for a war already won, and this sheet asked the living to finish what the dead had begun.
What to notice
A grave marked by a cross and a helmet, on a hillside of red poppies.
A debt owed to a hillside of poppies.
