The Statue of Liberty anchors this 1917 lithograph, which asks passersby, "Have you bought your bond?" and notes where subscriptions were received. Adolph Treidler, a prolific American commercial artist, produced it the same year the United States entered the First World War. The Liberty Loans were the government's bond drives for financing the war, and posters like this one carried the appeal into public spaces. Pairing a financial request with the nation's most recognizable symbol was a common wartime strategy, meant to link buying bonds with patriotic duty.
