Description
A US poster circa 1917-1918 encouraging recent immigrants to the USA to help the allied war effort (WWI) via food.
Interesting to me to see there was even a US Food Administration at the time.
Hope my little stash of WWI poster photos are of interest to you. They were challenging to photograph as all were behind highly reflective glass.

Thank you for bringing these to us in such excellent condition. I hope we never have to worry about it, but the wheat fields here s seem to be ll turning into subdivisions.

Great shot of this very interesting poster. None of the food then was genetically modified/engineered and was much healthier than today's food.

Great capture. No pussy-footing around matters in those days. Umm, when I click to zoom on the image, it shrinks a small amount.

You do/did a masterful job of capturing these old war posters, Bill, and this is no exception! This poignant beauty reminds me of a Norman Rockwell type painting. I hate to say this because the artist put so much thought and effort into this wonderful poster, but the long spar jutting out in front of the ship on the left of the image looks like a cannon of some sort, possibly anti-aircraft in nature.

Also a great historical posting Bill. Keep in mind that the Beefeater posting was 14 years ago. :>) Dana

These posters are amazing. You've done a great job getting around the issue with the glass!

You did great photographing these, Bill. They are real slices of history. Interestingly, the temperance movement made much of grain being used for food and not Old John Barleycorn. This is one of the reasons prohibition of alcohol (18th Amendment) was approved by some satets in 1918.
