Corn: The Food of the Nation (1918)

This is a rare silk-screened masonite advertisement from the United States Food Administration, featuring the slogan "Corn: The Food of the Nation." Created by Lloyd Harrison for Harrison Landauer Inc., Baltimore, the brightly colored sign measures0 3/4 x 30 inches. It displays vivid artwork of a woman serving corn products—corn meal, grits, hominy—emphasizing corn as an appealing, nourishing, and economical food. The artist's signature and company logo are visible at the lower left. The poster shows slight wear along the top right corner, but the colors remain vibrant.
