Beat back the Hun with Liberty Bonds
From the New York State Museum: "This poster was among the first created by the Division of Pictorial Publicity and was one of ten selected by the Liberty Loan Committee—most of which depicted the supposed savagery of the German soldiers. British propagandists inundated Americans with tales of German atrocities. While some American journalists did challenge the extent of the British accounts, the stories helped turn American public opinion against the Germans by 1917."

Public Domain
Public Domain is a copyright term that is often used when talking about copyright for creative works. Under U.S. copyright law, individual items that are in the public domain are items that are no longer protected by copyright law. This means that you do not need to request permission to re-use, re-publish or even change a copy of the item. Items enter the public domain under U.S. copyright law for a number of reasons: the original copyright may have expired; the item was created by the U.S. Federal Government or other governmental entity that views the things it creates as in the public domain; the work was never protected by copyright for some other reason related to how it was produced (for example, it was a speech that wasn't written down or recorded); or the work doesn't have enough originality to make it eligible for copyright protection.
