EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical postcard from the early 20th century captures a significant aspect of history - rationing during the Great War. Titled "Ration of half a loaf of bread" this colour lithograph brings to life the struggles faced by individuals during wartime. The image portrays a humorous scene, with a man sitting at a table eagerly eyeing his meager portion of white bread. The artist's wit shines through as he emphasizes the scarcity of food supplies in war zones. Despite the serious subject matter, there is an underlying sense of humor that adds levity to an otherwise grim situation. In this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the challenges faced by those living through World War I. Rationing was implemented to ensure fair distribution and conservation of resources amidst widespread shortages. This postcard serves as both entertainment and commentary on these difficult times. Through its vivid colours and expertly executed lithography, this illustration transports us back in time, allowing us to glimpse into daily life during one of humanity's most trying periods. It serves as a reminder that even in times of hardship, laughter can still be found. As we reflect on this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let it serve as a testament to resilience and resourcefulness in the face of adversity - qualities that continue to inspire us today.
