Avenge this!! Buy a bond" turns outrage into a call to action, asking viewers to answer anger with a financial pledge rather than a soldier's sacrifice. It dates to about 1918, when the United States was paying for its part in World War I through a series of Liberty Loan drives, and posters like this one were a main way those campaigns reached people in streets, shops, and public buildings. Many such appeals drew on reports of German wartime conduct, such as the 1915 sinking of the Lusitania, to link personal feeling to buying a bond. The record describes this as a reproduction, possibly of a lithograph, and its details come from an unverified caption card, so the exact printing history is less certain.
