Second Liberty Loan of 1917, United States Treasury, sheet No. 9, 1917

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.

$39.00
What it is
A colour lithograph issued by the United States Treasury for the Second Liberty Loan of 1917, 76 by 51 cm, sheet No. 9.
Why it matters
The sheet asks the newcomer to repay the first sight of liberty with a bond, and the title calls the purchase a duty. The Library of Congress holds a second copy of the design.
What to notice
Immigrants on a ship's deck as it sails past the Statue of Liberty.
The harbour's first sight, owed back as a bond.
