Join the United States School Garden Army - Enlist Now
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative poster from 1918, calling on schoolchildren to contribute to the war effort by joining the School Garden Army. The image features a determined young girl in a simple dress, her back bent as she plows the soil with a hoe, her eyes focused intently on the task at hand. The rich, earthy tones of the poster, with its deep greens and browns, emphasize the connection between the land, the food it produces, and the vital role that schoolchildren could play in supporting their communities during wartime. The text of the poster is clear and direct, with bold, black letters that leave no doubt as to the message being conveyed. "Join the United States School Garden Army - Enlist Now," it urges, "Help Win the War by Growing Your Own Victory Garden." The poster goes on to explain that by growing their own vegetables, children could help reduce the strain on the food supply, freeing up resources for the military and ensuring that their families and communities were well-fed. The poster is a poignant reminder of the ways in which individuals could contribute to the war effort in unexpected ways, and the importance of community and collective action during times of crisis. The image of the girl plowing the soil also speaks to the enduring connection between children, nature, and the land, and the ways in which these connections can be harnessed to create positive change. Overall, "Join the United States School Garden Army - Enlist Now" is a powerful and evocative piece of propaganda that continues to resonate with audiences today, offering a glimpse into the spirit of resilience and determination that characterized the United States during World War I.
