[Food & Drink] Cooper, Frederick G.
Collection of WWI Food & Drink Posters
An interesting collection of six posters related to the theme of food and conservation during WWI, including two by Frederick Cooper. As follows:

The illustrator Frederick Cooper popularized lower case lettering instead of the traditional all uppercase in his posters, and his clean style graced the cover of many Life magazines and produced iconic images that captured the spirit of his time. Like many illustrators at the time, he contributed his art to the war effort in his modern-style posters created for the U.S. Food administration.The second of his posters offered in the lot especially exemplifies his clean style and use of text.
