“Shpeyz Vet Gevenen die Krieg!” [“Food Will Win the War!”].

19 x 30 inches (48 x 76 cm). Framed.
New York: (1917)
This poster issued by the United States Food Administration engages in moral exhortation, intimating to newly-naturalized citizens that the way to repay America for its welcome-mat, is by supporting the Allies in the war effort: “You Came Here to Find Freedom, Now You Must Help Defend it. We Must Supply the Allies With Wheat. Waste Nothing.” See Judah L. Magnes Museum Catalogue, Witnesses to History: The Jewish Poster (1989) p. 16.
