What it is
A colour lithograph by an unnamed artist, made for the Liberty Loan of 1917, sheet No. 7, 28 by 53 cm, a sheet wider than it is tall.
Why it matters
Every man who shoulders a gun risks his all for his country, the text says, and then it turns on the reader: what are you sacrificing to back him up? Liberty bonds paid for the American war.
What to notice
Soldiers marching with rifles on their shoulders behind an insignia of the Statue of Liberty and the legend I own a Liberty Bond.
A soldier's rifle, weighed against a bond.
