Its title makes a promise: the rewards of wartime effort grow in the backyard and the vacant lot, not only on the battlefield. Posters like this belonged to the campaign that urged civilians to plant war gardens, so that commercial food could go to troops and allied nations. Governments in the United States and Britain used images like this to turn a small daily task into a patriotic duty. Notice the bold lettering and the cheerful produce, which were designed to catch the eye from across a street.
