This First World War poster was created by the United States Food Administration to advocate for conservation of food resources for overseas allies and encourage the idea of eating more locally grown vegetables and fruits. It depicts a color lithograph image of a row of food trucks driving through snow. A soldier in the foreground waves them on. The text includes a quote by General John Joseph Pershing (1860-1948), who, following the American declaration of war against Germany in 1917, was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the American Expeditionary Force (AEF). The poster was designed by George Illian ( 1894-1932) who created a variety of posters for the United States Government during World War I. Little is known about Mr. Illian. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.
