Food for France by Francis Luis Mora, 1918

Food for France is a striking World War I propaganda poster that tugs at the heartstrings to encourage American aid. Against a bold yellow background, a weary French soldier in a blue uniform and iconic red cap is gently fed by a young girl holding a steaming bowl. The sketchy, expressive lines capture a moment of tender humanity amidst the devastation of war, reminding viewers that their donations directly fed exhausted troops on the front lines. Created in 1918, this powerful visual plea was part of a massive campaign to rally support for America's allies.
