What it is
A colour lithograph by an unnamed artist, printed by the Hegeman Print of New York in 1917, 104 by 70 cm, from the Willard and Dorothy Straight Collection; the Library of Congress holds a second copy.
Why it matters
One sheet recruited for the Army, the Navy and the Marines at once, in Liberty's own voice: uphold our honor, fight for us.
What to notice
The figure of Liberty with the American flag.
One flag, and three doors to enlist through.
