What it is
A design for a poster Robert L. Bier painted in watercolour and ink on paper for the Victory Loan of 1919, 96 by 63 cm.
Why it matters
The Victory Liberty Loan of spring 1919 paid the war's last bills, and Bier's text sets the bond beside the soldier's price: for a Victory Bond you pay money and get it back with interest.
What to notice
Troops charge over a hill with a graveyard behind them, painted in watercolour and ink as the design for a poster.
The price of victory, set beside the interest.
