That Liberty Shall Not Perish. 1918.
Pennell presents a shocking and apocalyptic portrayal of what the Great War would look like if it came to American shores: Lady Liberty headless, destroyers foundering upon the rocks of Liberty Island, bombers streaming unchallenged overhead, and Manhattan a wall of flame.
