Dig for Victory Print
$24.00
Issued during the crucible years of the Second World War, Mary Le Bon’s Dig for Plenty is more than propaganda, it is a portrait of civic optimism rendered in vegetable tones. Commissioned as part of Britain’s “Dig for Victory” campaign, the image exhorts viewers to plant gardens not out of mere thrift but out of moral resolve. The war may have been fought with planes and politics, but it was also waged with parsnips, cabbages, and dignity.
Le Bon’s crate overflows with carrots, leeks, tomatoes, and peas. Each brushstroke speaks to an ethic of sufficiency and solidarity, a visual ledger of effort turned sustenance. Reproduced here as a high-quality archival print, this piece retains its crisp color and persuasive warmth, a reminder that self-reliance is not only practical but beautiful.
