Eat Fruit - Be Healthy" makes its case in just four words, set in bold lettering over a color silkscreen. It was produced around 1938 by the Federal Art Project in New York, part of the Works Progress Administration, which employed artists during the Great Depression. The New York poster workshop was a leading center for silkscreen printing, a method the program used to make inexpensive, eye-catching public health and education posters. Posters like this one carried nutrition messages into schools, clinics, and public spaces, when fresh produce was a practical concern for many families.
