Willard Frederic Elmes Mather / Hungry! work incentive vintage poster 1929 44 h x 36.125 w in (112 x 92 cm) Created in Chicago in 1929, this vibrant lithographic poster aimed to boost worker morale during a period of prosperity, embodying timeless American ideals of industry and optimism. Now seen as both workplace propaganda and poignant Americana, it offers a compelling visual snapshot of a nation striving toward progress-when, as President Coolidge put it, "the chief business of the American people is business... [and] idealism." In this design, Elmes suggests that the "vulture of waste" can be kept hungry-so long as we all roll up our sleeves and do our part.
