What it is
An offset colour lithograph Robert Edwin Johnston drew for the Canada Food Board in 1918, 53 by 33 cm, from the Library of Congress.
Why it matters
The sheet speaks in a child's voice for food saving: what is spared at home feeds the father at the front.
What to notice
The signature R.E. Johnston/18 dates the sheet in the artist's own hand.
A child's sum: one more mouth, overseas.
