Almijisti over at Unfiction made an interesting find:It seems likely that the inspiration for the "Monstrous" poster is this famous Liberty Bonds poster from WW1 which is described in Rutgers' Library Special Collections:
Joseph Pennell. Fourth Liberty Loan. 40 7/8" x 30"
[Depicted: New York City ablaze beyond a decapitated Statue of Liberty]
Good catch over there! JJ hasn't spent all his penchant for the arcane on LOST--wonderful!
ReplyDeleteDitto, great historical find! I agree TBP!
ReplyDeleteThanks! There are several other posters and sci-fi book/mag covers with Lady Liberty busted-up, but this poster really matched up. This is the only "serious" poster too since it was used during the Great War.
