"Save the Products of the Land" - US Food Administration

"Save the Products of the Land" reads this food conservation poster from the US Food Administration that was created during World War 1. The subheading reads "Eat more fish - they feed themselves." Posters like this were widely distributed during the great war. The goal was to encourage American civilians to consume more food products that didn't require work and labour to produce, as many of the farmers and factory workers were deployed to war in Europe. Much of the food was sent along with them too. The artwork depicts several native fish species swimming among aquatic vegetation. The original artwork was done by artist Charles Livingston Bull. The poster was originally published in 1917. A great gift for any war history aficionado!

This sturdy white ceramic mug is white all around the war poster image, and the rim, inside and handle is black. The poster image is printed on BOTH sides of the mug!
