Here the Statue of Liberty is used to sell government debt. The poster asks, "Have you bought your bond?" and directs readers to where subscriptions were received. Issued in New York in 1917, it belongs to the Liberty Loan campaigns that helped finance the United States' entry into World War I. Illustrator Adolph Treidler, a well-known poster artist of the period, designed it, and M. Rusling Wood printed it as a color lithograph. The image shows how wartime finance was tied to patriotic symbolism, with the nation's most famous monument urging ordinary citizens to lend money to their government.
