summary
This World War I era government-issued poster designed by Howard Chandler Christy, encouraging Americans that it was their patriotic duty to buy war bonds. The poster sought to appeal to specific ethnic groups by listing family-names from many different nationalities on the Honor Roll, reflecting the fact that soldiers from all immigrant groups had fought and died in the war, viz: Du Bois, Smith, O’Brien, Andrassi, Levy, Kowalski, Gonzales, etc.
39 x 27 inches. Trace worn at top margin.
