Posters advertising food or kitchenware large and small have always been popular. Besides touting the quality of the products, they also promise time and cost savings. Packaged processed foods and technological advances appear to make kitchen work child’s play, as the doll cook in Donald Brun’s (1909–1999) poster suggests. But despite all the modern achievements in alleviating household drudgery, these posters still mainly feature female protagonists.
