EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the aftermath of the Great War, the world was faced with an unexpected challenge: a shortage of fats in the diet. With rationing and scarcity looming, the Boy Scouts of London, under the leadership of Quoth the Raven, George Morrow, and Lucas, stepped up to the plate to make a difference. In the serene surroundings of Richmond Park, they could be seen in this 1919 cartoon, diligently gathering buttercups. The humorous illustration by Terry Parker depicts the Boy Scouts in their uniforms, engaged in their good service, collecting the bright yellow blooms in baskets. The scene is a stark contrast to the hardships and turmoil of the post-WW1 era, offering a glimmer of hope and resilience. The cartoon, titled 'Scenes during shortage of fats: Boy Scouts do good service gathering buttercups in Richmond Park,' is a testament to the spirit of community and innovation that emerged during this challenging time. The Boy Scouts' simple act of gathering buttercups, which could be used to extract oil for cooking or fuel, became a symbol of unity and determination in the face of adversity. This charming and humorous cartoon is a reminder of the resourcefulness and camaraderie that defined the 1910s, a decade marked by both war and unexpected challenges.
