inches, 101x68 cm. U.S. Govern-

ment Printing Office, Washington, D.C.

Condition A: unobtrusive vertical and horizontal

folds.

One of a spate of U.S. World War II posters that

took advantage of some of the prevailing avant-

garde design techniques, such as photomontage.

The cinematic style of this image suggests it might

be a still taken from a (now lost) 1941 government

documentary called “Food for Freedom.”
