EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "WORLD WAR I: RATIONING. Can vegetables, fruit, and the Kaiser too" showcases an American poster that played a crucial role in promoting canning and rationing food to secure victory during World War I. Created by J. Paul Verrees in 1918, this powerful artwork encapsulates the spirit of unity and sacrifice prevalent during those tumultuous times. The poster's central message is conveyed through bold text that reads "Can vegetables, fruit, and the Kaiser too". This clever phrase not only emphasizes the importance of preserving food resources but also symbolizes defeating Germany's leader, Wilhelm II (known as the Kaiser), through collective efforts on both home fronts and battlefields. Verrees' artistic brilliance shines through his depiction of vibrant fruits and vegetables alongside a stern portrait of the German Kaiser. The juxtaposition serves as a visual representation of how every jar filled with preserved produce contributes to weakening Germany's war effort. Commissioned by an American propaganda commission early in 1918, this poster aimed to inspire citizens across America to participate actively in rationing their food supplies for the greater cause. It encouraged individuals to establish war gardens or Victory Gardens where they could grow their own produce while adhering to strict rationing guidelines. This remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand reminds us of our ancestors' resilience during World War I and highlights how small individual actions can collectively make a significant impact towards achieving victory on various fronts - be it military or societal.
