The title, "Liberty claims her own!", puts the personified figure of Liberty at the center of this color lithograph by Alex. O. Levy, dated 1917 or 1918. The American entry into World War I in April 1917 brought a wave of government and commercial posters meant to rally civilians, sell Liberty Bonds, and keep the war's costs in public view. The catalog subject headings also list casualties, which suggests the poster ties the nation's symbol to the human toll of the fighting.
