Mangez moins de viande," or "Eat less meat," is the blunt French slogan that gives this 1918 piece its character. By the last year of the war, France was short of food, and the government urged civilians to cut back on meat so that supplies could reach soldiers at the front and feed the population more fairly. Campaigns of this kind asked households to observe meat-free days and to use less of other staples, often framing restraint as patriotic duty. Posters like this one carried that message into shops, railway stations and town squares.
