This is a shocking and apocalyptic portrayal of what the Great War would look like if it came to American shores: Lady Liberty headless, destroyers foundering upon the rocks of Liberty Island, bombers streaming unchallenged overhead, and Manhattan a wall of flame. This image was created on behalf of the 4th Liberty Loan drive to fund the U.S. war effort. This is the larger format.
