A vintage American poster from the World War I era authorized by the U.S. Food Administration, 21 x 25 in., printed by Edwards and Deutsche Litho. Co: Chicago, 1917, featuring an illustration by artist Alice Julia Hendee (1889-1969) showing an attic stocked full of fruits and vegetables next to a sign that reads 'This is what God gives us. What are you give you that others can live? Eat less wheat, meat, fats, sugar. Send more to Europe or they will starve.' Minor edgewear, and a few small tears have been repaired on the verso with tape. To provide U.S. troops and allies with the sustenance required to maintain their strength and vitality, the government urged citizens to reduce their personal consumption of meat, wheat, fats and sugar.
