What it is
A colour lithograph by an unnamed artist, made for the Liberty Loan of 1917, 67 by 100 cm, a sheet wider than it is tall.
Why it matters
For many citizens a Liberty bond was a first encounter with financial securities, and the Library of Congress calls the crowd at Uncle Sam's window a diverse one.
What to notice
Uncle Sam selling Liberty bonds to a long line of citizens, among them a woman holding a book titled Study of English.
A queue at the window, learning English.
