EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard from the First World War era in France offers a humorous take on the struggles of rationing and food shortages during wartime. The supply cards featured on the postcard list "defendus vegetables" such as leeks, carrots (when pulled), onions (because they make you cry), artichokes (for their heartiness), cabbage (compared to dirty little things), and peas (because of pigeons).
In a time when resources were scarce and civilians had to make do with limited supplies, this comedic portrayal of vegetables allowed people to find some light-heartedness amidst the darkness of war. The illustration on the postcard shows a couple examining these unusual rationed vegetables, with expressions ranging from confusion to amusement.
The creativity and wit displayed in this postcard reflect the resilience and spirit of those living through difficult times. It serves as a reminder of how humor can be used as a coping mechanism during challenging circumstances. This photograph captures a unique moment in history, showcasing not only the hardships faced during wartime but also the ingenuity and humor that helped people endure those hardships.
