Description

This First World War poster was designed by Percy J Wright, and aims at encouraging the Scottish public to invest in National War Bonds. The poster depicts William Wallace (one of the main leaders during the wars of Scottish independence) facing the viewer and gesturing to the ext with his left hand. In his right he holds a sword. Strong links emerge between Wallace and the need to defend Scottish life and liberty.
