What it is
A colour lithograph Charles Livingston Bull drew for the United States Food Administration between 1917 and 1918, 76 by 52 cm, sheet No. 13.
Why it matters
Fish ate nothing the farms grew, and the sheet makes that its argument: eat more fish, and the products of the land go to the war. Bull trained in taxidermy and is known for his wildlife illustration.
What to notice
An underwater view of fish swimming among seaweed, a wildlife painter's subject put to work for the Food Administration.
A dinner that needs nobody's wheat.
