What it is
A colour lithograph Adolph Treidler drew for the United States Food Administration in 1918, 54 by 35 cm.
Why it matters
The text asks support for every flag that opposes Prussianism and gives the household its orders: eat less of the food the fighters need, deny yourself something, waste nothing. Treidler drew covers and advertisements for McClure's, Harper's, the Saturday Evening Post and Collier's.
What to notice
The American flag among the flags of the other Allies, set above the Food Administration's instructions.
A pantry, enlisted under every Allied flag.
