Sunday Joint - A Rationed Affair
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical illustration by J.C. Robinson, we find a dismayed family gathered around the dinner table for their weekly Sunday lunch. The scene is set in the midst of World War II, an era marked by rationing and scarcity. But what could possibly make this simple meal an extraordinary one? At the head of the table, a circular machine, reminiscent of a giant clock, stands menacingly. This Ration Gadget, as it appears to be called, dispenses portions of diminishing size to the unsuspecting diners. The father, with a look of shock and disbelief, watches as his wife's plate shrinks before his eyes. The children, wide-eyed and open-mouthed, stare at their own diminishing portions with a mix of fascination and dread. The family's Sunday joint, once a symbol of comfort and abundance, is now a testament to the absurdities of wartime rationing. Robinson's humorous take on the situation adds a touch of levity to the harsh realities of the time. Robinson, a regular contributor to the Sketch, Bystander, and other ILN titles during his lifetime, was known for his mind-boggling contraptions and designs. His weekly drawings were immensely popular, providing a much-needed escape from the harsh realities of the war. This illustration, titled "Sunday Joint," is a testament to Robinson's ability to find humor in the most unlikely of situations. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. Credit: Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans.
