Description
United States first world war poster promoting the sale of Liberty Bonds. It draws attention to the suffering of women and children in Europe as a result of the conflict to encourage people to support the loan. The image which takes up the majority is of a mother, her young children cowing around her, arm outstretched as if pleading for help to some unknown Stranger. The dark tones used by the artist add to the sense of destitution and drama. The title printed in gold ink is positioned in the upper right while other text printed in red ink is positioned across the bottom.
