EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment in history during a food shortage in Germany in January 1922. In the midst of chaos and desperation, the police are seen providing protection for the state butter merchant as he tries to distribute scarce supplies to the hungry crowd. The image is a stark reminder of the control and authority needed to maintain order during times of crisis.
The tension and fear in the air are palpable as people clamor for their share of butter, a precious commodity in such dire circumstances. The historical significance of this event is evident, showcasing how essential goods like food can become symbols of power and control.
As we look back on this snapshot from nearly a century ago, we are reminded of the fragility of society when faced with scarcity. It serves as a poignant reminder to be grateful for our abundance and to work towards ensuring that no one goes without basic necessities.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured not just an image, but a piece of history that speaks volumes about human nature and resilience in times of adversity. This print is not just a visual representation; it is a window into a world where survival often depended on those who held power and authority.
