About the Artwork:

Lloyd Harrison (1864-1931) was an American commercial artist known for his vibrant and detailed illustrations. Active during the early 20th century, Harrison primarily created advertisements for various companies. However, his work for the U.S. Food Administration during World War I holds historical significance. Posters like "Wholesome – Nutritious: Foods from Corn" aimed to educate the public about alternative food sources during wartime shortages.

This colorful poster features a festive display of corn-based products. The composition is an array of tempting dishes made with corn. Baked goods like bread and cake sit alongside cans of corn starch and corn oil. The text "Wholesome – Nutritious. Foods from Corn" arches boldly across the top, emphasizing the health benefits of corn.

"Wholesome – Nutritious: Foods from Corn" served a dual purpose during World War I. As wheat supplies dwindled, the U.S. Food Administration encouraged citizens to incorporate more corn into their diets. The abundance of corn-based dishes showcased in the poster demonstrates the versatility of this grain. From breakfast staples like pancakes to savory grits, the artwork highlights corn's potential to satisfy a variety of culinary needs.
