What it is
A lithograph by an unnamed artist, made for the Liberty Loan of 1918, 76 by 51 cm, coded APL.22-1918, from the Willard and Dorothy Straight Collection.
Why it matters
The sheet makes the bond the blow itself: strike now, it says, while he is fighting for you.
What to notice
A soldier about to bayonet a German soldier in a trench.
A purchase, timed to a bayonet thrust.
