What it is
A colour lithograph W. A. Rogers drew for the Liberty Loan in 1917, 57 by 42 cm, published through the patriotic coöperation of the New York Herald.
Why it matters
The text says this boy has made his last great sacrifice and asks whether Americans are doing their part, buying bonds to sustain the boys who must take his place in the trenches. Rogers was an American political cartoonist.
What to notice
A dead soldier lying on the field under the bitter accounting of the title.
The one bond no one can redeem.
