    Description

    Original WWI "Hunger In Belgium" US Food Administration Rare 1917 Vintage Poster
    Large 29" x 21" World War I United States Food Administration
    original propaganda poster. Plastic wrapped with cardboard backing. I have not taken it out of it's protective covering since I acquired it, but it looks to have some wrinkling down
    the right side and a fews small tears around edges. Doesn't look to have been folded.
    This image shows a famished family suffering from the ravages of World War I and the resulting food shortages. The poster was created by the American artist Henry Raleigh (1880-1944) to encourage the American people to consume less food every day so that the United States will have more food remaining to send to Belgium to stave off the famine. It is a most noble cause that resulted in great conservation efforts in the United States. "For three years America has fought starvation in Belgium. Will you eat less -
    wheat - meat - fats and sugar that we may still send food in ship loads?"
