Few American posters from 1917 make their pitch as bluntly as this one, whose slogan "The time for argument has passed--The time for action has arrived" leaves little room for debate. It is a lithographed war poster from the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress, issued in the year the United States entered the First World War. Posters like this were a central tool of the Liberty Loan campaigns, which asked ordinary Americans to lend money to the government to finance the war effort. The appeal combined patriotic urgency with a financial request, reflecting how the war was fought not only on the front but through bond drives on the home front.
