Whereas many artists depict Columbia as a warrior-goddess, Stahr\u2019s depiction is far more sexualized, a strategy likely used to attract the attention of heterosexual men passing by. Draped in the stars and stripes of the American flag, Columbia\u2019s emotionless expression communicates the severity of the situation as she stands waiting for assistance. Beneath her, featured in a large, red and blue font, are the words \u201cBe Patriotic- sign your country\u2019s pledge to save the food.\u201d  In pairing the colors of the font with the colors of Columbia, the image draws a distinct connection between Columbia\u2019s needs and the text beneath.  Through symbols of national pride and patriotism, she is beseeching the viewer to help her and the country through the conservation of food.<\/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.
