EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous and patriotic map from the First World War era in France showcases a unique way of rationing coal during a time of scarcity. The map designates different portions of coal for specific purposes - the "flambant" is reserved for lovers, the "balls" for hens, and the "rooster" for chickens. Additionally, it notes that white coal should only be used for central heating.
The whimsical nature of this map provides insight into how people found ways to inject humor and creativity into their daily lives amidst the hardships of war. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and ingenuity displayed by individuals during times of adversity.
The print captures not only the details of this intriguing map but also offers a glimpse into life during World War I. The image features a woman holding the map, her face partially obscured by her handbag, adding an air of mystery to the scene. A couple stands beside her, embodying patriotism and determination in their expressions.
Overall, this photograph encapsulates a moment in history where resourcefulness met with lightheartedness, showcasing both the challenges and spirit of unity that defined wartime France.
