EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WWI poster, designed by Walter Whitehead in 1918, encourages American citizens to "Come On! Buy More Liberty Bonds." The United States entered the First World War in 1917, and the government sought to finance the war effort through the sale of Liberty Bonds. These bonds were essentially loans from citizens to the government, with the promise of eventual repayment and interest. Whitehead's design features a determined, muscular man in work clothes, holding a rifle and a bayonet, with the American flag in the background. The man's stern expression and the title "Buy More Liberty Bonds" convey a sense of urgency and patriotic duty. The poster's use of bold colors, clear typography, and strong imagery were intended to inspire citizens to invest in the war effort. The poster's tagline, "Invest in Liberty," emphasizes the idea that buying Liberty Bonds was not just a financial transaction, but a way to support the war effort and contribute to the cause of freedom and democracy. The image of the rifle and bayonet reinforces the idea that the war was a physical struggle, and that financial support was essential to the success of the military effort. The poster's design reflects the wartime spirit of the time, with its emphasis on patriotism, sacrifice, and the importance of financial support. Whitehead's powerful image of a determined man holding a weapon and urging citizens to buy bonds remains a powerful symbol of the sacrifices and commitments required during times of war. This vintage poster is a valuable historical artifact, reminding us of the ways in which citizens were called upon to support their country during times of conflict.
