This original antique WWI poster was created by the artist Walter H. Everett and issued in the United States to help promote the sale of Liberty Bonds. The dire image of a mother reaching out as babies cling to her adds gravity to the posters grim tag line Must Children Die And Mothers Plead In Vain? The answer, printed in bold red across the poster, is simple – Buy More Liberty Bonds.

This poster has been professionally linen backed and some short tears on the edges and creasing in the image area has been expertly addressed. The poster displays very well and overall condition is very good.
