Original poster: Save Your Child From Autocracy and Poverty. Buy War Savings Stamps. W.S S. (Larger Format). This poster for War Savings Stamps features a small blond child wearing nothing but shoes and socks. He is clutching the arm of the Statue of Liberty. The poster was designed by Minneapolis born Herbert Paus. His most noted work is found in the famed advertising campaigns for Victor Records and Hart, Schaffer and Marx. He designed over 50 covers for Popular Science Monthly and Collier's.
