A Poster created by the United States Food Administration between 1917 and 1919, during the 1st World War.
The image depicts a man smoking a cigar at the end of the meal. In front of him the table shows still plates full of uneaten food.
The slogan below the illustration is an invitation not to frustrate the commitment with which women are working to avoid waste: “Do not waste while your wife save. Adopting the doctrine of the clean plate. Do your part.”
