A lithographic poster by the municipal school “St. Vincent” in Paris.
Made and distributed during the 1st World War, it is part of a series of posters designed by children of the Parisian school for the French National Committee for welfare and savings, in order to incite the population to contribute to the war effort.
The central image (a loaf of bread, resting on a table, from which was cut a slice), is enclosed in a circle framed by floral motifs and is accompanied by a warning, addressed to the French population, to do their duty by not wasting the bread.
