Peace and Plenty
1923
A curly-haired toddler has completely conked out in a high chair, face resting right next to a bright orange bowl of 'Cream of Wheat' with a smudge of porridge still on their cheek. Through the arched window behind them, a starry night sky twinkles, suggesting the little one ate so much they couldn't stay awake. Edward Vincent Brewer created this cozy 1923 illustration to capture the ultimate feeling of a full belly and a good night's sleep, featuring the brand's famous smiling chef painted right onto the chair's backrest. It's a perfect snapshot of early 20th-century advertising charm that makes you want a warm bowl of comfort food.
