Vintage propaganda artwork encouraging people to eat more fish during World War I.

---

Vintage propaganda artwork titled; Save the products of the Land. Eat more fish - they feed themselves. The image of fish swimming among the seaweeds, the objective being to encourage Americans to turn their culinary sights to the waters rather than the fields towards the end of the First World War. The message on the artwork implies that fish are self-sufficient, which means no feed has to be wasted in their upkeep and by indulging in an aquatic diet, Americans can leave more wheat and beef to be shipped overseas.
