World War I Propaganda (U.S. Government Printing Office, 1918) Fourth Liberty Loan Poster "For Victory, Buy More Bonds" by artist John Scott Williams. It is on linen. It's hard to find a better depiction of patriotism than that found on this masterful piece by artist John Scott Williams. With a sword drawn and shield in hand, a figure draped in an American flag in front of a soaring eagle directs troops to victory. The U.S. government created numerous gorgeous and eye-catching posters in an attempt to reach out to citizens, encouraging them to purchase bonds. US WWI Lithographs were used during 1917 and 1918 to encourage citizens to buy Liberty Bonds, special charitable appeals, conserve food and goods and enforce patriotism. Since the federal government had banned commercial radio, the posters were needed to spread these messages. Many of the works were commissioned by well-known artists of the day.
