About this Item

Anonymous / Sackett & Wilhelms Litho. Co. / 1917 / (First World War) Remember Your First Thrill of American Liberty / Your Duty - Buy United States Government Bonds 2nd Liberty Loan of 1917. (Curiosities - Places, 108695) Color lithograph on early 20th-century wove paper. Old taped repairs to bottom edge, minor tears on all edges. Unbacked. This 1917 propaganda poster was part of the U.S. government's effort to finance World War I through public subscriptions to war bonds. It is part of the larger Second Liberty Loan campaign, which was the second of four liberty bond issues. The poster features a poignant scene at New York Harbor with the Statue of Liberty in the background, symbolizing the freedom and opportunities afforded by life in America. Immigrants, depicted in various national dress, gaze towards the statue, reinforcing the message of liberty and the American dream. This imagery is designed to inspire a sense of duty and patriotism among viewers, especially recent immigrants, urging them to support the war effort by purchasing government bonds. The use of vibrant red, white, and blue coloring and dynamic composition reflects the graphic design trends of the early 20th century, aimed at catching the eye and engaging the emotions of the viewer. The prominent display of text and the straightforward message are typical of war-time propaganda, designed to communicate effectively with a broad audience. The Liberty Loans were federal war bond campaigns aimed at raising funds to cover the costs of allied combatants during World War I. Public subscriptions to these bonds were a patriotic duty encouraged through extensive advertising campaigns involving posters, rallies, and celebrity endorsements. The Second Liberty Loan campaign, in particular, raised approximately $3.8 billion in 1917, a significant contribution to the war effort. Seller Inventory # 108695
