EDWIN HOWLAND BLASHFIELD CARRY ON! BUY LIBERTY BONDS TO YOUR UTMOST. 1918

Paret describes this fierce, heated, heroic battlfield scene as "an American variant" of a 1917 French World War I poster by Georges Scott. "The helmets of [the] soldiers are closer to the French than to the American design, and the female figure leading soldiers to battle wears a red Phrygian cap, a symbol of the French Revolution" (Paret p. 32). An exceptional and rare poster, seldom seen complete with its text banner. Paret 41.
