This 1917 watercolor poster by Eugenie DeLand carries the line "Sunrise or sunset own a Liberty Bond," placing the Statue of Liberty at the center of a call to buy war bonds. The U.S. government issued Liberty Bonds beginning in 1917 to help pay for its entry into World War I, and the Liberty Loan drives relied heavily on posters like this one to reach ordinary citizens. The statue, already a national emblem, was a natural figure for asking Americans to invest in the war effort. The record's subject headings list the statue, the war's economic side, war bond campaigns, and the American flag, which together show how closely the image tied patriotism to financial support.
