Alexander O. Levy (1881-1947) · Issuer not named in the Library of Congress record, 1917

What it is
A colour lithograph Alexander O. Levy drew in 1917 or 1918, one of his allegories of Liberty in the war.
Why it matters
The Library of Congress dates it to 1917 or 1918, and the Atlas files it under the later year. In this allegory Liberty takes back her dead.
What to notice
The figure of Liberty gathers up the spectres of fallen soldiers from a cemetery.
The fallen, claimed back by the flag.
