The Girl on the Land / Y.W.C.A. ca. 1918.
Since "an army runs on its belly," and "food will win the war," this was one of many appeals to work the land on behalf of the effort to win World War I. This time, however, it's a solicitation for the Y.W.C.A., created by the great illustrator Edward Penfield, depicting four clean-faced girls in uniform heading home after a day’s harvest.
