In this lithograph, a young man in uniform clasps his father's hand at the moment of parting, and the caption makes the appeal plain: the son is going off to fight for the flag, and the father is asked to buy government bonds. Lawrence Harris designed the poster, which Sackett & Wilhelms of New York printed for the Third Liberty Loan campaign. Liberty Loans were bonds the U.S. government sold to pay for its part in World War I, and posters like this one tied the sacrifice of soldiers overseas to the financial support expected of families at home.
