EDITORS COMMENTS
During World War One, every resource was precious and in high demand. Housewives played a crucial role in the war effort by saving old newspapers to be sold for 9d per pound to fishmongers and other businesses. This print captures a moment in history where women took on the responsibility of storing and selling newspapers as a means of contributing to the economy during wartime. The image showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of housewives during this challenging period. With paper being such a valuable commodity, every pound saved made a difference in supporting the war effort. The determination and dedication of these women is evident in their efforts to collect and store newspapers for re-sale. This snapshot from "The Pageant of the Century" published in 1934 serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary citizens during times of crisis. It highlights how individuals came together to support their country through small but significant actions like saving old newspapers. As we look back on this historical moment, we can appreciate the resilience and strength displayed by housewives who found innovative ways to contribute to their community during World War One. Their efforts may have seemed small at the time, but they played an important role in sustaining the economy during a tumultuous period in history.
