  • Original Item: Only One Available. “That Liberty Shall Not Perish From The Earth'' was one of many posters issued by the U.S. government during World War I to encourage support of the war. This poster features a picture of the Statue of Liberty in ruin, the New York skyline in flames with a squadron of German bombers flying overhead and in the distance a collapsed Brooklyn Bridge. A German U-Boat can also be seen in the water heading towards the coastline. The artist’s name, Joseph Pennell can be seen in the left hand corner. This historic poster was originally to have been titled "Buy Bonds or you will See This," but the publisher changed the title. The “new” title that was printed is:


    THAT LIBERTY SHALL NOT
    PERISH FROM THE EARTH
    BUY LIBERTY BONDS
    FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN


    The poster appears to have never never been folded and there is heavy tearing present as shown along the top and right edges in particular, but there is tearing across. This example would look best framed. It measures roughly 22¼ x 33”.


    This haunting Liberty Bonds poster is a definite must have in your poster or WWI collection!


    Note: Poster will ship rolled.
