Here the Statue of Liberty is cast as a salesperson, and the poster's title urges viewers to buy a U.S. government bond before sunset. It was issued for the Second Liberty Loan of 1917, one of several wartime drives the federal government ran to finance the country's entry into the First World War. Liberty Bonds were sold to ordinary citizens through banks and public campaigns, and color posters like this one carried the appeal into streets and storefronts. The flags beside the statue link the financial request to patriotic duty.
