About the Item

The 1917 original poster by Charles Livingston, "Keep Him Free By War Savings Stamps," carries a powerful visual of a majestic eagle soaring over a fleet of airplanes, symbolizing the strength and freedom of the United States during World War I. Printed by Ketterlinus in Philadelphia, the poster serves as a rallying cry for citizens to support the war effort by purchasing war savings stamps. In the center of the poster, the eagle, a national emblem of pride and courage, commands attention with its outstretched wings and piercing gaze. Positioned above a squadron of airplanes, it conveys a sense of vigilance and protection, underscoring the importance of defending the nation's freedom and security. The airplanes below the eagle represent the modern technology and military might of the United States, highlighting the country's readiness to defend itself against any threat. The combination of the eagle and the airplanes creates a powerful visual metaphor for the nation's strength and determination in the face of adversity. Through bold imagery and succinct messaging, the poster urges viewers to take action in support of the war effort. By investing in war savings stamps, citizens can directly contribute to the nation's defense and help ensure the safety and freedom of their fellow countrymen. In this way, the poster embodies the spirit of patriotism and solidarity that defined the American home front during World War I.
