What it is
A colour lithograph R. H. Porteous drew for the Second Liberty Loan of 1917, printed by the Edwards and Deutsch Litho. Co. of Chicago, 75 by 49 cm, sheet No. 11.
Why it matters
The Second Liberty Loan opened in October 1917, and this sheet put the bonds to the women of the country by name, as the way to help their sons win the war.
What to notice
A woman stands before the Stars and Stripes with her hands outstretched, and the appeal opens on the word Women.
Two open hands, held out for the loan.
