EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative poster, titled "Fight or Buy Bonds - Third Liberty Loan," was created in 1917 to encourage American citizens to support the war effort during World War I. The image features a woman in a flowing white gown, her arms outstretched as she waves the American flag with determination and resolve. Behind her, a line of soldiers in uniforms, ready to march off to the front lines, reinforces the message that the fight against the enemy requires both military force and financial support. The Third Liberty Bond campaign was a crucial fundraising effort for the United States government, aimed at raising money to finance the war effort. The bonds, which were essentially loans to the government, were sold to citizens with the promise that they would be repaid with interest once the war was over. The campaign's slogan, "Fight or Buy Bonds," emphasized the importance of contributing to the war effort in any way possible, whether it be through military service or financial support. Posters like this one were a common sight during the war, with artists and designers creating powerful and persuasive images to inspire patriotism and encourage support for the war effort. The use of symbols like the American flag and the image of a strong, determined woman were intended to appeal to citizens' emotions and remind them of the importance of their role in the war effort. Today, this poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of Americans during World War I, and a testament to the power of visual communication in inspiring and mobilizing a nation.
