The Posters That Went to War · Over There

Harvey Dunn (1884-1952) · U.S. Food Administration, through the Division of Pictorial Publicity, No. 25, 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.

What it is
A colour lithograph Harvey Dunn designed for the U.S. Food Administration through the Committee on Public Information's Division of Pictorial Publicity in 1918, 92 by 143 cm, sheet No. 25.
Why it matters
The bargain is in the title: the men at the front give everything, and the reader is asked for wheat. Dunn went to France as an artist-correspondent with the American Expeditionary Forces.
What to notice
Soldiers with bayonets charging over a hill, across a sheet wider than it is tall.
Their lives, set against our bread.
