Few pictures on this board speak directly to the reader the way this one does, presenting a balanced diet as advice for the expectant mother rather than for the household at large. Its placement under apples suggests the fruit stands for one of several wholesome foods, a common device in nutrition teaching and food advertising, when fresh produce was widely promoted as a route to good health. Images like this were often reproduced in magazines and pamphlets, so they were meant to be grasped quickly and remembered, not studied as single works of art.
