This poster is currently unbacked. At check out, you will be given the opportunity to add backing which would cost $145 and take approximately 6-8 weeks.
Linen backing is the industry standard of conservation. Canvas is stretchered and a sheet of acid free barrier paper is laid down. The poster is then pasted to the acid free paper using an acid free paste. This process is fully reversible and gives support to the poster. A border of linen is left around the poster and can be used by a framer to mount the poster so that nothing touches the poster itself. Backing is what we recommend for framing, and for any poster needing restoration.

Send - the Wheat, Meat, Fats, Sugar
the fuel for FightersWhile being fought overseas, World War I also touched the everyday lives of Americans. To ensure adequate food supplies for our troops and war-torn Europeans, President Wilson established the U.S. Food Administration with an Executive Order on August 10, 1917. Led by Herbert Hoover, the U.S. Food Administration assured the supply, distribution, and conservation of food. Hoover encouraged people to follow the "gospel of the clean plate," and designated meatless, sweetless, wheatless, and porkless days of the week.
Please note minor tears and losses to edges.
