Description:
Two million copies of this popular horror fantasy were printed. The poster’s unlikely depiction of an air and submarine attack on New York was designed to bring the war home to a public, who remained at a distance from the fighting. The poster also advertises the necessity of financing the war effort with the forth liberty loan. The designers of the poster hoped that fear of a U.S. attack would remind the nation of the reason for war, and would solicit their financial support.
