Description
WWI Liberty Loan 1917 Poster Postcard Statue of Liberty Immigrants. This striking postcard features a reproduction of a historic World War I propaganda poster for the 2nd Liberty Loan of 1917. The artwork, titled 'Remember Your First Thrill of American Liberty,' depicts a group of immigrants on the deck of a ship as they approach Ellis Island, gazing in awe at the Statue of Liberty. The poignant imagery was designed to encourage new citizens and established Americans alike to support the war effort through the purchase of government bonds. Produced as a commemorative piece by Family Circle and New York Bound Books, this card captures the patriotic fervor of the early 20th century. The illustration showcases a variety of traditional European dress among the passengers, contrasting with the iconic silhouette of Lady Liberty in New York Harbor. It serves as a powerful historical document of both American immigration history and the home front efforts during the Great War. This card is a perfect addition for collectors of military history, New York City landmarks, or vintage advertising art.
