EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage WWI poster, titled "Are you 100% American? Prove it! Buy US Government Bonds, Third Liberty Loan," dates back to 1918, a time when patriotism and financial support for the war effort were at an all-time high in the United States. The image features a powerful eagle with outstretched wings, clutching an American flag in its talons, and adorned with stars and stripes. The eagle's gaze is fixed on the viewer, as if challenging them to prove their loyalty to their country. The text below the eagle reads, "100% American? Prove it! Buy US Government Bonds, Third Liberty Loan." During World War I, the US government relied heavily on the public to finance the war effort through the sale of war bonds. The Liberty Loans, as they were called, were a way for citizens to invest in the war effort and show their support for the troops. The posters, like this one, were used to encourage Americans to buy bonds and contribute to the war effort financially. The poster's design is reminiscent of the patriotic spirit that swept through the country during wartime. The use of the American flag and eagle, symbols of national pride and strength, reinforces the message that buying war bonds was a way to prove one's loyalty to the country. The poster's call to action, "Buy US Government Bonds, Third Liberty Loan," is a reminder of the financial sacrifices Americans made during wartime to support their country. This poster is a historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the past, providing insight into the patriotic fervor and financial commitment of Americans during WWI. Its vintage design and powerful imagery make it a striking and valuable addition to any collection of historical posters or Americana.
