poster draws a connection between WWI and the Civil War, depicting a haunting, almost post-apocalyptic view of New York Harbor after a bombing. The Statue of Liberty lies in ruins, German bombers fly overhead, and the sky appears to be aflame. 

The text is from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

Image size: 28" x 41"

Shipping: $20. Will be shipped via UPS. Please allow one week shipping.

About the artist

Joseph Pennell (1857-1926) was born in Pennsylvania, and worked and studied in Europe for most of his career. He was a contemporary of James Whistler and William Morris. Pennell said of this poster design that it, "must appeal to the people—the people gorged with comics, and stuffed with movies, and fattened on photographs."
