Raleigh "Must Children Die and Mothers Plead in Vain?". 1918. Size: 30 x 40". Printer: Sackett & Wilhelms, New York, "1-B" at bottom left corner. Horizontal center fold with some separation and very minor paper loss; three horizontal tears at left, all radiate into image; pea-size paper loss twice at top left edge and once at bottom left corner; some toning at margins. The colors remain amazingly bright, obviously this piece was put away soon after it was taken down. Good condition.
This striking Liberty Bond poster is an indelible image of the results of war -- suffering children and desparate mothers. Designed for the largest of the loan drives, the September/October 1918 Fourth Liberty Loan campaign.
