Abraham Lincoln's closing line from the Gettysburg Address, "that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth," sits above a direct request to buy Liberty Bonds. Printed in 1917, the year the United States entered the First World War, the poster belongs to the campaign that helped finance the war by selling bonds to ordinary Americans. Pairing a Civil War president's words with a wartime loan drive shows how readily officials drew on national memory to make a financial appeal feel patriotic.
