1945réf. 9116District of Columbia: Government Printing Office 1945. Poster 48.3 x 53 cm. folded as issued. Government Printing Office document 1945--O-629743. A government-issued poster encouraging Americans to grow victory gardens to support the war effort. The poster depicts an arrangement of various vegetables including peas in the shell cabbage and carrots in the foreground. In the background is a view of a garden with a man and woman cultivating and weeding. In an official wartime activity begun two and a half decades earlier in the Great War Americans were urged to supplement the food they had available for personal use by planting vegetable gardens both to support the war effort and due to food shortages and rationing. The gardens known as "victory gardens" were promoted widely by both the government and industry. Gardens were planted during World War I as well but were called "war gardens" until the end of the war when the term "victory garden" came into use. Creased at the folds otherwise very near fine.
