EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating American War Bonds Poster, created in 1917, captures the essence of patriotism and the immigrant experience during World War I. The colour lithograph print showcases a powerful image that appeals to the immigrant public, reminding them of their first thrill of American liberty. The focal point of the poster is undoubtedly the majestic Statue of Liberty standing tall in New York Harbor, symbolizing hope and freedom for countless migrants arriving at Ellis Island. In this bustling scene, we see a diverse group of immigrants eagerly gazing towards Lady Liberty while clutching their belongings tightly. Amidst this backdrop, a goat stands prominently on top of a pile of rocks—a clever metaphor representing citizenship and loyalty to their new homeland. Ducks swimming nearby further emphasize the idea that these newcomers are embarking on an exciting journey into uncharted territory. The message conveyed by this artwork is clear: it urges all immigrants to fulfill their duty by purchasing United States Government Bonds as part of the war effort. It serves as both an exhortation to contribute financially and a reminder that these bonds will help protect American values during times of conflict. This historic piece not only highlights the significance of immigration during World War I but also demonstrates how art can be used as a persuasive tool for social change.
