Frank Godwin's poster carries the blunt message "This is your war" and tells readers to subscribe to the Liberty Loan, with directions to see a bank or write to the Liberty Loan Committee. The Liberty Loans were bond drives the U.S. government ran during World War I to pay for the war effort, and posters like this one pressed ordinary citizens to lend their savings to the government. The catalog subjects point to its emotional strategy, linking the war to families and to fear, a common appeal in wartime advertising. The piece is a useful window into how the home front was asked to take part in the war.
