Golden Eyes, the dog in this 1918 drawing, is shown beside Uncle Sam, the personification of the United States, a pairing that turns a household pet into a wartime recruiter for the Liberty Loan drives. The work is a watercolor, ink, and gouache drawing over a graphite underdrawing, and it belongs to the Library of Congress's Prints and Photographs collection. Its subjects point to the home front of World War I, when the government sold Liberty Bonds to finance the war and posters, cartoons, and illustrations urged citizens to buy them as a patriotic duty.
