If You Can't Enlist, Invest: Buy Liberty Bonds, See Your Bank Today
Liberty Loan, United States Treasury, 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 by an unidentified artist for the Liberty Loan of 1917, 69 by 52 cm, from the Willard and Dorothy Straight Collection.
Why it matters
Liberty bonds paid for the American war, and the slogan gave the man who could not enlist his part in it. Here the Statue of Liberty carries the line, with the bank as the place to act.
What to notice
The Statue of Liberty under the slogan and its instruction: see your bank today.
The harbour's statue, standing in for the recruiting office.
