Archival linen backed vintage poster ready to frame. Excellent condition. Published: Chicago : Edwards & Deutsch Litho. Co., c. 1918. The USA entered the First World War in 1917. It established a system for the general population to make financial contributions to the war effort in the form of Liberty Bonds, the equivalent of the British War Bonds. Tales of (largely unfounded) atrocities, such as rape, child murder and mutilation and abuse of soldiers' bodies, were behind many of the images for such posters. In this one, the German soldier, identifiable by his spiked helmet, looms up like an ape toward a female figure. The imminence of horror is intensified by the fact that she is clutching a baby. This HUN OR HOME, Buy More Liberty (War) Bonds is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction.
