America's first Liberty Loan was an immediate success and on its closing day, with its $2,000,000,000 goal surpassed, the director proclaimed it a "genuine triumph for democracy. It is the unmistakeable expressino of America's determination to carry this war…to a swift and successful conclusion." The three primary posters for the loan campaign utilized the image of the Statue of Liberty to deliniate the difference between America's democracy and European autocracy to great effect. The poster offered here is likely the first Liberty Loan image produced.
