What it is
A colour lithograph Sidney H. Riesenberg drew for the Liberty Loan in the Third Federal Reserve District, printed by Ketterlinus of Philadelphia in 1918, 76 by 51 cm.
Why it matters
Each Liberty Loan was sold district by district through the Federal Reserve banks, and this sheet belongs to the Third, centred on Philadelphia. Riesenberg was known above all for his Marine Corps and Liberty bond posters.
What to notice
Soldiers in battle, firing their weapons.
A battle line, matched by a bond line.
