Corn The Food Of The Nation

17

Poster developed in 1918 during WW1. Many posters were created to promote wheat conservation and provide food for the US soldiers.  Distributed by the United States Food Administration, this poster stands out because it is supposed to represent and speak to US citizens,  also serving as an early example of “call-to-action” graphics.
