EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative WWI poster, featuring a portrait of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, was created around 1917 to encourage Americans to buy Liberty Bonds. The poster's design is a poignant reminder of the patriotic spirit that swept across the nation during wartime. Lincoln's profile, depicted in high relief, dominates the center of the poster. His stoic expression and strong jawline convey a sense of determination and resolve. The metal bas-relief technique used to create the portrait adds depth and texture, making the image all the more striking. The words "Buy Liberty Bonds" are prominently displayed below Lincoln's portrait, with the phrase "Invest Your Money in Defense Bonds" appearing to the right. The poster's wording is simple yet effective, reflecting the urgent need for financial support to fund the ongoing war effort. The poster's patriotic theme is further emphasized by the quotation from the U.S. Constitution, "To promote the general Welfare," which is inscribed at the bottom. The use of the Constitution's wording adds a sense of legitimacy and importance to the call to action. This poster is a testament to the heroic efforts of the American people during WWI, and the sacrifices they made to support their country. The signing of Lincoln's portrait adds an extra layer of historical significance, making this a truly unique and valuable piece of American history.
