EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical cartoon print, dated circa 1915 from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts a humorous moment during the early days of World War I in Britain. The image shows a mother duck (labeled as "Mummy Duck") cautiously warning her baby duckling ("Baby Duckling") not to touch a horseshoe on the pavement, with the caption "Don't touch it, dear! It's a worm substitute!" During this period, rationing became a necessity due to the demands of the war effort, leading to shortages of food and other essential resources. The use of unconventional food substitutes became commonplace, with people turning to unusual sources to make ends meet. In this cartoon, the horseshoe represents one such substitute, with the mother duck trying to protect her young from potential harm. The odd scene on the street is further emphasized by the brown, drab tones of the image, reflecting the austere and challenging conditions of the time. The image is a poignant reminder of the creative and resourceful ways in which people coped with the hardships of the war, and the importance of family and protection, even in the most unusual circumstances. The satirical nature of the cartoon adds an element of levity to the serious topic of food rationing during WWI, highlighting the resilience and sense of humor of the British people in the face of adversity.
