This powerful American poster from the period of 1917-1918, created during the height of the First World War, urges citizens to invest in Victory Liberty Loans. The image portrays the heroic American navy, with its majestic ships and sailors, working tirelessly to keep the sea lanes open for normal traffic.

This iconic piece of American history continues to resonate with viewers today, offering a glimpse into the past and the sacrifices made by individuals during the First World War.
