What it is
A colour lithograph Henry Raleigh drew for the United States Food Administration in 1918, printed by Forbes of Boston, 73 by 53 cm, sheet No. 16.
Why it matters
The text sets the household's part beside the soldier's: others are giving their blood, and eating only what is needed and wasting nothing will shorten the war and save life.
What to notice
A man lifts an injured man from the ground, under two words weighed one against the other.
A loaf held level with a life.
