Description

This striking design by Bert Thomas (1883-1966) was poster No. 124 issued by the National War Savings Committee in September 1918. It depicts a sailor and guns aboard a battleship at sea. The poster was created to promote the purchase of war bonds with the white space in the upper half of the design left blank to allow for the additions of local text following distribution.
