EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stark reality of food shopping during the First World War in France, as depicted in a household account from 1916. The image shows a determined housewife carefully examining her weekly shopping list and weighing the meager supplies she is able to afford on her limited budget. The effects of the ongoing conflict on food prices are evident in the high costs of even the most basic necessities. The First World War brought about significant disruptions to global food production and distribution networks. The blockade of German ports and the diversion of resources towards military efforts led to widespread food shortages and price inflation. In France, the cost of essential items such as bread, meat, and milk increased dramatically, forcing many families to make difficult choices about their spending. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the daily struggles faced by ordinary people during this period. The housewife's shopping bags are filled with a few meager items, suggesting that she has had to make significant sacrifices to put food on the table. The empty shelves and bare counters in the shop behind her underscore the severity of the situation. Despite the challenges, the housewife remains focused and determined, carefully recording each item and its cost in her accounting book. This image offers a glimpse into the resilience and resourcefulness of individuals during a time of great hardship, as they adapted to the new realities of wartime life on the home front.
