A lot of great artwork came from the war bonds campaigns during WW1

This colour lithograph poster print from World War I from the Delta Archives shows the caption "Doing my bit- Four Years- Do yours- Buy Victory Bonds'"
The poster shows a higlhland soldier holding up four fingers, indicating his years in service, urging civilians to buy war bonds.
The poster from the 1918 War Bond Victory campaign was one of the war's most successful, raising hundreds of millions in three weeks.
The bonds were a loan to the government that could be redeemed with interest.
They were released during several different campaigns between 1915 and 1919.
The Victory Bonds were quickly purchased after being issued.
