Description
A US poster circa 1917-1918 encouraging recent immigrants to the USA to help the allied war effort (WWI) via food.
Interesting to me to see there was even a US Food Administration at the time.
Hope my little stash of WWI poster photos are of interest to you. They were challenging to photograph as all were behind highly reflective glass.

Wonderful memrobilia thank you for sharing !!!
Well done on capturing this well. Cheers, Clive
Excellent capture Bill.. this looks great seeing how it was taken behind reflective glass.. well done!!
wonderful photo!!!!!!!
Good photo, Bill. I like the old posters. "Waste nothing", except the enemy!
You have done brilliantly to get them behind glass..I'd not have guesseed.
Wonderful image! So much history. :)
Those posters from that era are so interesting and beautiful art!
Thank you for bringing these to us in such excellent condition. I hope we never have to worry about it, but the wheat fields here s seem to be ll turning into subdivisions.
Oh no, these images are very cool....as well as interesting....excellent work Bill!
I love these period pieces or art and posters...!!!
WOW - Incredible! And I bet no-one was gluten intolerant in those days!! LOL...
Great shot of this very interesting poster. None of the food then was genetically modified/engineered and was much healthier than today's food.
excellent work: i know all about reflections on the posters! I invented a new dictionary of bad words about that! very interesting poster, BTW, I didn't know that one!
Great capture. No pussy-footing around matters in those days. Umm, when I click to zoom on the image, it shrinks a small amount.
very interesting poster. food makes the world go round
I love your historic shots, nice work.
A fine historical showing here! Very well captured!
Pic is so clear Bill, wouldn't think it was behind glass. Piece of history.
I think you have done a wonderful job of capturing and sharing these with us. I find them incredibly interesting. Excellent shot!
Great bit of history you have captured and shared!
You do/did a masterful job of capturing these old war posters, Bill, and this is no exception! This poignant beauty reminds me of a Norman Rockwell type painting. I hate to say this because the artist put so much thought and effort into this wonderful poster, but the long spar jutting out in front of the ship on the left of the image looks like a cannon of some sort, possibly anti-aircraft in nature.
even in this day and age that is soo true!!
Also a great historical posting Bill. Keep in mind that the Beefeater posting was 14 years ago. :>) Dana
These posters are amazing. You've done a great job getting around the issue with the glass!
You did great photographing these, Bill. They are real slices of history. Interestingly, the temperance movement made much of grain being used for food and not Old John Barleycorn. This is one of the reasons prohibition of alcohol (18th Amendment) was approved by some satets in 1918.
fantastic capture!!! I love the series!
Another amazing piece and you managed this shot so well despite the reflecting glas
EXCELLENT POSTER SHOT! H I S T O R I C A L
You can barely tell they are behind glass.. You have done a wonderful job.. Excellent.. Superb history... Rob
