What it is
A colour lithograph Henry Raleigh drew for the Liberty Loan in 1918, printed by the Edwards & Deutsch Litho. Co. of Chicago, 75 by 51 cm, sheet No. 9-B.
Why it matters
Liberty bonds paid for the American war, and this sheet sold them with fear, setting the enemy at the door of an American home. The Atlas hangs it as the history of that image.
What to notice
A woman clutches an infant as a German soldier with bloody hands comes toward her, and the title puts the choice in three words.
A front door, drawn as the front line.
