EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical postcard from 1916 France offers a humorous take on the serious issue of sugar rationing during the First World War. The parody rationing card declares, "No rations to lovers since they have already kissed," adding a touch of romance to an otherwise mundane topic. It goes on to state that only gourmets will be entitled to the refinement of sugar, highlighting the scarcity and value of this commodity during wartime.
The tongue-in-cheek instructions continue with a playful tone, prohibiting breaking pieces on the back of your best friend and declaring that sugar is forbidden to dogs, but cats will have the right to sugar cream. These lighthearted rules serve as a reminder of how everyday life was affected by the constraints imposed by war.
Despite the hardships faced by civilians during this time, this postcard shows that humor and creativity could still flourish in unexpected ways. It captures a moment in history when people found solace in laughter and imagination amidst challenging circumstances. This print serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to human resilience in times of adversity.
