U.S.A. Bonds - Weapons for Liberty (1918) J.C. Leyendecker Non-binary buttery paint and luscious useJ. C. Leyendeckers U. S. A. Bonds Weapons for Liberty turns wartime fundraising into myth. Created for the Boy Scouts of Americas Third Liberty Loan campaign, it shows a kneeling Scout offering a sword marked Be Prepared to Lady Liberty, armed with shield and haloed authority. No known lover or sitter here; the power is symbolic. Youth, duty and patriotism become polished spectacle propaganda made beautiful, masculine and almost dangerously convincing.
