Description
33" (84 cm.) x 25". The poster urges thriftiness on the part of the French people in the name of national defense. "Don't throw away a single gram of bread" is the call, urging Frenchmen to hold on until the American troops arrived and re-took the country. The famed illustrator, Francisque Poulbot, made the Montmartre area of Paris his home as he plied his talents in the creation of illustrations, posters, and postcards in the support of France during WWI, with special emphasis on aiding the orphans who roved the streets of Paris; his dolls (shown in #91) evolved from those poster designs. Excellent condition, framed, 1918. The poster was dated just during the American entry into the war.
