The Posters That Went to War · Over There
Victory Is a Question of Stamina: Send the Wheat, Meat, Fats, Sugar
Harvey Dunn (1884-1952) · United States Food Administration, 1917
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 Harvey Dunn drew for the United States Food Administration in 1917, 73 by 54 cm.
Why it matters
The Food Administration, set up by executive order on 10 August 1917, ran the country's food while it was at war, and this sheet names four foods as the fuel for fighters. Dunn went to France as an artist-correspondent with the American Expeditionary Forces.
What to notice
Soldiers running with bayonets, the charge set against a shopping list of what to send.
A bayonet charge, fed from the pantry.
