EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a significant event during World War I in Germany - the shortage of meat, or flesh as it is referred to in German. The caption "Shortage of Flesh" highlights the dire situation faced by the people of Germany in July 1915, as they began to run short on essential food supplies.
During times of war, resources become scarce and rationing becomes necessary. This image serves as a reminder of the hardships endured by civilians during this tumultuous period in history. The clever play on words with "Carne means both meat and flesh" adds an interesting linguistic twist to the narrative.
The cartoon-like illustration featured in this print conveys a sense of urgency and desperation that was felt by many at the time. It symbolizes not only a physical scarcity of food but also reflects the emotional toll that war takes on individuals and communities.
As we reflect on this piece from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded of the resilience and strength exhibited by those who lived through such challenging times. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and the importance of remembering past events to ensure they are never repeated.
