The Posters That Went to War · Over There
Eat Less, and Let Us Be Thankful That We Have Enough to Share
A. Hendee · United States Food Administration, 1918
Format
Archival pigment giclée on museum-grade matte art paper, color-managed to the source scan — the flat inks and stone grain intact. The 40×60 is the room-changer.
Size
$39.00
What it is
A colour lithograph A. Hendee drew for the United States Food Administration in 1918, 73 by 54 cm, sheet No. 17.
Why it matters
The full line gives thanks for enough to share with those who fight for freedom, which is the Food Administration's case in one sentence: eat less here so that more can go abroad.
What to notice
A bounty of fall fruits and vegetables, a harvest still life put to work.
A full table, with a share set aside.
