EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a wartime pig food poster that played a crucial role in encouraging the saving of food scraps for use as pig feed during World War II. The poster, displayed prominently in kitchens across the nation, served as an advertisement for a council scheme aimed at collecting kitchen waste to sustainably feed both pigs and poultry. In this evocative image, we are transported back to the 1940s when thrift and resourcefulness were paramount. The poster's vibrant colors and bold typography catch our attention immediately, reminding us of the importance of collective efforts during times of war. It serves as a powerful reminder that even seemingly insignificant actions like recycling food scraps can make a significant impact on sustaining communities amidst adversity. The historical significance of this advertisement cannot be overstated. It symbolizes not only the practicality and ingenuity required during wartime but also highlights how every individual had an essential role to play in supporting their country's efforts. This photograph captures more than just an advert; it encapsulates the spirit of unity and resilience that defined those challenging years. As we gaze upon this fascinating relic from another era, we are reminded once again that history is made up not only by grand events but also by everyday acts such as saving kitchen waste for hungry pigs and poultry.
