Framed Vintage Framed Vintage 1945 85 million Americans Hold War Bonds Poster US Treasury
85 million Americans Hold War Bonds is a United States Treasury poster from 1945, used during World War II to promote the purchase of war bonds. The poster features a hand clenching war bonds, with the hand of the Statue of Liberty holding her torch in the background, a visual that connects financial support for the war with the defense of American liberty. The poster was created to support the 7th War Loan drive in April 1945, near the end of the war. The design was intended to be a declaration of triumph and a testament to the collective pride and unified civic identity of the American people, rather than a simple call to action based on fear or guilt. By the end of the war, 85 million Americans had purchased a total of over $185 billion in war bond
