| Additional Information: | Original 1918 Gerrit A. Beneker "Sure! We'll Finish the Job" Victory Liberty Loan Poster, archival linen-backed in good condition, ready to frame. Grade B+ An iconic and authentic vintage World War I propaganda poster by renowned American illustrator and painter Gerrit A. Beneker (1882–1934). Created in 1918 and printed by Edwards & Deutsch Litho. Co., Chicago, this powerful chromolithograph served as a rallying cry for the Victory Liberty Loan campaign—the fifth and final Liberty Bond drive, launched in spring 1919 to support the war effort and postwar reconstruction. The composition features a confident American worker in denim overalls and a cap, reaching into his pocket to contribute once more. He proudly displays buttons from the four previous Liberty Loan campaigns, symbolizing unwavering patriotic commitment. Bold red lettering proclaims "SURE! We'll Finish the Job" above the striking portrait, with "VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN" at the base. This design masterfully captures the spirit of the home front laborer as the backbone of victory. He wears buttons from previous Liberty Loan campaigns. This is Beneker's most famous poster during the campaign, making it one of the era's most recognizable images of American resolve. Original examples from this period are highly sought after by collectors of WWI ephemera, propaganda art, and early 20th-century American illustration.
