What it is
A colour lithograph Lloyd Harrison drew for the United States Food Administration in 1918, 77 by 53 cm.
Why it matters
Every dish of corn left wheat for the war, and the sheet sells it as appetizing, nourishing and economical, to be served some way at every meal.
What to notice
A woman serves a breakfast of corn, with canisters on the table labelled corn meal, grits and hominy.
The war effort, baked as corn bread.
