Fantastic condition considering the time period it is from.
Herbert Hoover, head of the US Food Administration during World War I, famously declared, “Food will win the war.” Both he and the United States government more generally encouraged Americans at home to decrease their consumption of food and to focus on the production of more foodstuffs at home for soldiers abroad.
This is an original vintage poster, not a reproduction. During World War I, posters were an essential way to get information out to the general population. This Original Vintage Poster was designed by J.E. Sheridan in 1917 for the World War I U.S. Food Administration. The image of a basket of fresh produce from the garden sits in the foreground against a silhouette of cavalry carrying the U.S. flag. The message FOOD IS AMMUNITION - DON'T WASTE IT!
During the year 1917, President Woodrow Wilson created the U.S. Food Administration which operated in each state. The administration created to conserve food.
