War savings stamps poster
A 1918 poster urging the reader to purchase war savings stamps, a series of savings stamps issued by the United States Treasury to help fund participation in World War I. The stamps were available in ten cent and twenty-five cent versions, and provided interest. In some cases collections of stamps could be redeemed for war bonds. The caption reads, "Joan of Arc saved France. Women of America, save your country. Buy war savings stamps."Artist: Haskell Coffin; Restoration: Lise Broer
