What it is
A colour lithograph Maurice Ingres drew for the Liberty Loan of 1917, copyrighted by the Central Litho. Co. of Cleveland, Ohio, 103 by 70 cm, from the Willard and Dorothy Straight Collection.
Why it matters
Liberty bonds paid for the American war, and for many citizens a bond was the first security they ever owned. The title promises that the money buys a short war.
What to notice
A figure of Liberty set against a background ravaged by war.
A bond sold as a shortcut to peace.
