The poster depicts a shirtless man struggling to prop up a wounded comrade in a bleak terrain. Over their shoulder is a cannon with smoke trailing from its mouth. As the incapacitated soldier slumps lifeless, the other soldier looks desperately toward the sky for help. The dark terrain clouded in smoke is contrasted by a white backdrop and the standing soldier\u2019s helmet as if to resemble a halo. In conjunction with the two pained figures, the text asks the audience for mercy in the form of food conservation to \u201cshorten the war.\u201d The choice presented in bright orange between \u201cBLOOD or BREAD\u201d places responsibility for the soldiers\u2019 suffering on those who are wasteful and overindulgent.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Copyright and Terms<\/td>\n<td>Images are in the public domain or protected under U.S. copyright law (Title 17, U.S. Code), and both types may be used for research and private study.
