The German-language title, roughly "New Life for Europe," shows that this poster was aimed at readers in postwar Germany and other German-speaking areas, and its wheat-centered imagery points to the food shortages of the period. The European Recovery Program, usually called the Marshall Plan after Secretary of State George C. Marshall, was proposed in 1947 and ran through 1952, channeling American aid into economies devastated by the war. Food relief was one of its most visible forms, since grain and other supplies helped feed populations still living under rationing. Posters like this one were part of a wider effort to explain the program to ordinary Europeans and tie American assistance to hopes for recovery.
