Get the Good From Meat 1942 WWII Reproduction Poster

About this poster:

This is a vintage World War II poster from 1942, issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Home Economics. The poster is part of the "Food for Freedom" campaign, designed to educate the American public on proper food preparation to conserve resources during the war. The main slogan, "Get the Good... FROM MEAT," is displayed prominently at the top in a bold, red banner.

The poster features two black-and-white photographs that serve as visual guides for cooking meat. The top image shows a person placing a large roast, pierced with a meat thermometer, into an oven. The bottom image shows pieces of liver being cooked in a cast-iron skillet. The instructional text provides clear, concise tips for cooking both a tender roast and liver, emphasizing methods to prevent waste, such as not overcooking and using moderate heat. This messaging was critical at a time when meat was rationed and every portion counted towards the war effort on the home front.

Our vintage-style wartime conservation posters evoke the spirit of resilience and patriotic dedication. This classic piece channels the enduring charm of wartime conservation, inviting you to appreciate an era when every resource was cherished. Professionally printed by Lumber City Prints on premium quality 230gsm Matte Photo Paper, this poster is a stunning tribute to historical campaigns and artful design.
