L.N. Britton (American 1858 – 1934) was a printmaker, lithographer and poster designer who belonged to the propaganda art style.
In buying sprees foretelling the toilet paper run of 2020, there was a shortage of sugar in the U.S. in 1917, ushered into reality from both an increase of canning and the “fear of shortage.” The challenge for the American baker during WWI, as in 2020, was not a dearth of agricultural products, but disruption of the supply chain. The railroad lines that crisscrossed the nation carrying foodstuffs were the same networks needed for the immediate transport of millions of individuals serving in the U.S. military and other organizations supporting WWI efforts.
