The Posters That Went to War · Over There
Help Them: Keep Your War Savings Pledge
Casper Emerson · U.S. Treasury Department, War Savings Stamps, 1917
Format
Archival pigment giclée on museum-grade matte art paper, color-managed to the source scan — the flat inks and stone grain intact. The 40×60 is the room-changer.
Size
$39.00
What it is
A colour lithograph Casper Emerson drew for the U.S. Treasury Department in 1917, 76 by 51 cm.
Why it matters
Savings stamps let small sums be put by over time toward a savings bond, and the sheet asks everyone who had pledged to keep paying in.
What to notice
Soldiers firing machine guns, the cartridges feeding them made from a stream of War Savings Stamps.
Small change, fed straight into the gun.
