    Description from Wisconsin Historical Society:
    United States Food Administration poster depicting a woman holding a crying infant on her shoulder with one arm, and her other arm around a young girl who is standing and holding her hand out as though begging. Other figures in the background appear to be raising their arms up in supplication. In the background are bombed-out buildings.
