This World War I poster sets itself apart by showing French women working the fields by hand and horse, a subject that stands out on a board largely given over to tractors and farm equipment. Printed in New York by Wynkoop Hallenbeck Crawford Co. between 1914 and 1918, it was issued under the United States Food Administration, the wartime agency led by Herbert Hoover to encourage conservation and increased production. The poster's title asks American viewers whether they are doing their part, using the image of French women plowing to press home the idea that food was a front-line concern at home as well as abroad.
