EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster from 1917, titled "Liberty Loan: Buy Now," is a powerful reminder of the patriotic spirit that swept through the United States during World War I. The image features Lady Liberty, her torch held high, standing proudly amidst a backdrop of the American flag and an explosive sky. The Statue of Liberty, a symbol of freedom and democracy, was a potent symbol of the country's commitment to the war effort. The poster, produced during the United States' intervention in the war, was part of a larger campaign to encourage people to buy Liberty Bonds or Liberty Loans to help pay for the war. The country had initially remained neutral in the conflict, but public sentiment shifted following the sinking of the Lusitania in May 1915 and the entry of Germany into unrestricted submarine warfare in January 1917. The poster's design is both striking and emotive, with the bold red, white, and blue colors and the bold, declarative text urging viewers to "Do Your Part." The image of Liberty, with her outstretched arm and determined expression, embodies the spirit of sacrifice and unity that was needed to support the war effort. The poster also features a group of Boy Scouts gathered around a table, studying the poster intently, emphasizing the importance of educating the younger generation about the importance of the war and the role they could play in supporting it. This historical artifact is a poignant reminder of the patriotism and determination that characterized the American response to World War I, and serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by generations past in the name of freedom and democracy.
