Bought 4th Liberty Bonds, 1918

Bought 4th Liberty Bonds, 1918
This real photo postcard seems similar to one of Arthur Mole's "living photographs"--World War I-era photos "in which tens of thousands of soldiers, reservists, and other members of the military were arranged to form massive compositions." Note the biplane flying overhead and the automobile at the left. The handwritten caption at bottom appears to end with "Steve Winters, 1918," but I haven't been able to make out the first two words.

(deleted account) has particularly liked this photo

The spelling is terrible, but I think they wrote "Waco Texas". There was a flying field there.

Great catch, I hadn't seen this particular "picture" before. Note that it is the "4th Liberty" loan, which took place late in the War.
2 years ago.
