The title echoes the closing words of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, which hoped that "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Dated 1918, the picture comes from the final year of the First World War, when the United States financed the war through Liberty Loan bond drives and asked civilians to show their support on the home front. Wartime images of this kind often paired patriotic language with symbols of duty and sacrifice, and they circulated in public places. The record does not name a maker, so the picture is best read as one of many appeals from that period to defend freedom.
