What it is
A colour lithograph by an unidentified artist, copyrighted in 1917 by H. F. Rawll, for the Liberty Loan partial payment plan, 51 by 35 cm.
Why it matters
The plan, devised and offered by the Christmas Club of 303 Hudson Street, New York, let a buyer pay for a bond in parts at any bank. The Library of Congress holds a second copy of the design.
What to notice
A monumental Uncle Sam seated between citizens offering money on the left and military men on the right.
Two lines at the counter: one with cash, one with men.
