Description

The That Liberty Shall Not Perish poster

“That Liberty Shall Not Perish from the Earth – Buy Liberty Bonds” is Joseph Pennell’s 1918 poster for the Fourth Liberty Loan. It imagines the unthinkable: New York under enemy attack, the Statue of Liberty headless and broken, the city burning behind her, bombers overhead and submarines in the harbor. The title borrows the closing words of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.

It is one of the most dramatic and best-known American posters of the First World War, and a striking piece of New York and American history for any wall.

Read the full history of the poster and the Fourth Liberty Loan.

Restored edition

Restored from a Library of Congress scan of an original 1918 print. Stains, fading and paper wear were repaired and Pennell’s fiery orange and dark lithographic drawing brought back, with the original lettering kept true. Drag the before and after slider below to compare.
