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.

What it is
A colour lithograph Edmund M. Ashe drew for the Liberty Loan, published in New York in 1918, 93 by 53 cm.
Why it matters
Liberty bonds paid for the war, and this sheet asks the lender to match the soldier's effort: lend the way they fight.
What to notice
An American soldier holds a hand grenade over German soldiers in a trench.
A grenade raised, and a bond to match.
