Blue harbor water spreads behind a crowded ship's deck as a young man with orange-brown hair leans forward, right arm outstretched, while a dark-haired man raises a blue cap in a wave. Women in orange-red headscarves stand near a wooden bulwark, and the Statue of Liberty lifts her torch beside a hazy yellow-gold skyline. Food Will Win the War gathers these arriving figures into one bright lithographic call.
Made for lovers of wartime history, immigration stories and vintage graphic art, this print rewards a slow second look at the crowd and city beyond. Hang it in a living room where guests gather, or line a study wall with era-defining messaging. Browse more in Vintage Propaganda Posters to build a themed grouping.
Questions about this print
What does the lettering on this poster say?
The printed text reads FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR, followed by the lines You came here seeking Freedom, You must now help to preserve it, WHEAT is needed for the allies, and Waste nothing, credited to the UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINISTRATION across the lower art.
What scene does the artwork show?
It shows immigrants on a ship's deck viewing the Statue of Liberty. A young man points forward, a man behind waves a blue cap, and women in orange-red headscarves stand by a wooden bulwark, with distant skyscrapers and a domed tower in hazy bright sky.
What printing technique was used for the original?
The original is a colour lithograph in full colour, using a bright palette of blue water, yellow-gold skyline haze, orange-red scarves and olive greens. Our reproduction reproduces those tones with giclée printing on archival matte paper for clean detail and colour.
Which size should I choose for my wall?
Choose from eight sizes, from a compact 8"x12" up to a large 26"x40". Smaller sizes suit a study or hallway gallery grouping, while 24"x36" or 26"x40" hold a living room feature wall. The full artwork is retained with matching edge padding where a size needs it.

All prints are unframed archival paper with a clean white border, so you’re free to trim or frame them however you like. Eight sizes, from desk-friendly to oversized statement pieces:
Choosing a size
11×14″ and 16×20″ suit desks, shelves and gallery walls. 18×24″ is our best-selling statement size for bedrooms and studios. 24×36″ and larger make a bold focal point above sofas, beds and dining areas.
Gallery walls
Mix 11×14″ and 16×20″ prints with 2–3″ spacing between frames for a curated, designer look. Need a custom size up to 36×70″? Contact us for a quote.
Printing
Each poster is produced with professional giclée printing on heavyweight 230gsm archival matte paper — a smooth, glare-free, gallery-grade stock with a bright white base for true-to-life colour. Paired with archival, fade-resistant pigment inks, every print holds its contrast, depth and fine detail for decades — no fading, no yellowing.
Why it matters
Heavyweight 230gsm archival matte eliminates glare and delivers museum-level colour depth that standard poster paper simply can’t match — the same fine-art materials trusted by galleries.
Framing
Prints ship unframed with a clean border, ready for the frame of your choice. Black, white or natural wood all work beautifully; pair with UV-protective glass for maximum longevity. See our framing guide for recommendations.
Care
Display away from direct sunlight to preserve vibrancy, and dust gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.

Product & Quality
Question: What kinds of art do you sell?
Answer: Two worlds on one wall: original culture-driven designs — KAWS-inspired and hypebeast art, sneakers, anime, music, F1 and automotive — and The Archive, our restored museum classics spanning William Morris, Japanese woodblock masters, Art Nouveau, vintage travel posters, gothic engravings and the 1909 tarot deck. All 35 collections are printed on the same 230 GSM archival matte stock.
Question: What paper and print quality do you use?
Answer: Every poster is printed on premium 230 GSM archival matte paper using professional giclée (pigment-ink) printing — the same heavyweight, museum-grade stock used by fine-art galleries. Expect rich, accurate colour, deep blacks, and a smooth non-glare matte finish built to last for decades. See how it compares in posters vs canvas vs metal.
Question: Will my poster fade over time?
Answer: No. We print with pigment-based archival inks on acid-free 230 GSM matte stock, rated to resist fading for decades when kept out of direct sunlight. Framing behind glass or UV-protective acrylic adds extra protection — see our framing guide.
Question: How do giclée posters compare to canvas or metal prints?
Answer: Giclée on archival matte paper gives the sharpest detail and truest colour, frames beautifully, and is the most versatile, affordable way to build a gallery wall. We break down the trade-offs in posters vs canvas vs metal.
Sizing & Framing
Question: What sizes do you offer?
Answer: We offer ten sizes, from 5×7 up to 32×40 inches (availability varies by design). Sizes vary by design and format. Each product page lists the dimensions available for that specific poster or set. Not sure which to choose? See our Poster Size Guide and the blog standard poster sizes.
Question: What size should I get for my wall?
Answer: A simple rule: your art should fill about two-thirds of the wall or the furniture beneath it. 18×24 is our best-selling statement size; 24×36 and larger suit spaces above sofas and beds. Full room-by-room breakdown in the Size Guide.
Question: Do posters arrive framed, and how do I frame them?
Answer: Classic prints ship unframed and rolled so you can pick a frame you love — our standard sizes drop straight into off-the-shelf frames. Prefer it ready to hang? Our framed posters arrive assembled in handmade Black Oak or Natural Oak with acrylic glazing. Step-by-step help is in How to Frame Your Poster and the blog how to frame a poster.
Shipping & Packaging

Answer: Every order is printed fresh for you. Production takes 1–3 business days, then delivery is roughly: Canada 2–3, United States 2–5, and international 5–15 business days. Details in our Shipping Policy.
Question: How much does shipping cost?
Answer: Free shipping on every US order. Canada ships free over CA$99 (otherwise CA$14.99 flat); international orders ship free over CA$199 (otherwise CA$29.99 flat). International orders ship DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) — duties and taxes are included, so there are no surprise fees at your door.
Question: Do you ship internationally?
Answer: Yes — we ship worldwide, all DDP, so the price you see at checkout is the price you pay.
Question: How are posters packaged?
Answer: Each print is quality-inspected, then carefully rolled and shipped in a crush-resistant tube to prevent creases and dents. Packaging is eco-friendly and discreet.
