British Second World War poster by Lewitt-Him warning against the nutritional effects of over cooking. The title and message of the poster is printed below an image of a chimney stack with vegetables flying out with the smoke. With chronic food shortages in Britain during the Second World War, two issues faced the Government, food waste and the maintenance of a healthy population and labour force. This poster addresses both issues and particularly identifies over cooking as an obstacle to healthy eating. Lewitt-Him was a collaborative design partnership between Jan LeWitt and George Him, two Polish artists. Their work was used extensively by the Polish Government and during the Second World War, they enjoyed 'marked success' for their posters in Britain. Their first success was a children's book, Lokomotywa, in 1934 in Poland. In 1937 they came to London, where for 20 years they were prominent in graphic design. Their first book was reissued there in English, and in French in 1939. Their post-cubist rendering in soft colors greatly influenced postwar British graphic design.
