What it is
A colour halftone of a painting by Albert Herter, made between 1917 and 1918 for the membership campaign of the Girls' Division of the New York War Camp Community Service and reproduced through the courtesy of the artist.
Why it matters
The caption says the Girls' Division was enlisting the girls of New York for comrade rallies, parties and service. Herter, a painter and muralist, founded Herter Looms in 1909.
What to notice
Liberty stands behind a soldier and helps him hold up the American flag, with the caption of the campaign continuing below the painting.
A flag too heavy for one pair of hands.
