"Best known as an illustrator, Joseph Pennell worked in a style of line drawing already familiar to many from the work of James Abbott McNeill Whistler, whose style captured the energy of light. Pennell created a landscape of liberty endangered–almost destroyed–in this rosy-hued poster. The need for freedom, so valued by the artists of the day, is articulated here in support of the Liberty Loan bond drive” (Posters American Style, p. 100).
