The poster is tied to Crown Prince William of Germany, the eldest son of Kaiser Wilhelm II, whose name appears in the record's subject headings. Its slogan, "Make the world safe for democracy," echoes President Woodrow Wilson's April 1917 war message, and the text pairs that idea with a direct appeal to buy bonds. Issued the year the United States entered the First World War, it belongs to the Liberty Loan campaigns the Treasury used to raise money for the war effort. The "No. 2" notation suggests it was one of a numbered series.
