My Soldier" is a color lithograph poster from around 1917, printed to promote the Third Liberty Loan, the United States government's bond drive that helped finance American entry into the First World War. Its note credits H.H. Green and The Matthews-Northrup Works, a commercial printing firm with plants in Buffalo, Cleveland, and New York, which produced many war-era posters. Liberty Loan posters of this period typically paired a personal, emotional image with a plain call to buy bonds, and this one follows that pattern, asking the viewer to see the war through a single soldier they care about. Its large format of roughly 106 by 70 centimeters reflects how such posters were meant to be pasted in public spaces.
