Featured in this lot is this original, U.S. Government issued War Bond poster done by artist Ellsworth Young circa 1918. "Remember Belgium-- Buy Bonds Fourth Liberty Loans" was one of many posters sent by the United States government during World War I to rally support for the war. This poster in particular sparked a wide range of feelings and fury toward the Germans. The phrase "Remember Belgium" was first used in England, but it was rapidly adopted by the Americans. The Imperial War Museum explains: "In 'Remember Belgium', the artist uses the alleged atrocities committed by Germans in 1914 to generate sympathy for the Belgians and thereby encourage Americans to invest in war savings." The United States government commissioned Ellsworth Young to create this poster in 1918. Young was an illustrator for American magazines and books. While little is known about Young, he was noted for his landscape portraits. "Remember Belgium" shows a German soldier dragging away a woman while a city burns in the backdrop. This graphic was used to illustrate the supposed destruction of several towns and rape of countless women by German forces. These posters portrayed Germans as savages. The poster shows good condition overall with slight rips present from its age and handling over the years, but no major signs of damage is noted. It measures 29 7/8" L x 20 1/8" W.
