What it is
A colour lithograph by an unnamed artist, printed by the Adpress of Baltimore for the Fourth Liberty Loan of 1918 from plates by the Baltimore, Maryland Engraving Co., 28 by 53 cm.
Why it matters
The second line makes the loan a weapon: every bond of the 4th Liberty Loan is a bayonet thrust at the Kaiser.
What to notice
Kaiser Wilhelm attempting to walk across a sea of soldiers with their bayonets held aloft.
A bond, carried on the point of a bayonet.
