Afford Bread Daily Sell Selling 1923
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a poignant moment in history from 1923. Titled "Sell US our Daily Bread," the image depicts a scene of people lined up to purchase bread, highlighting the struggle for access to basic necessities during that time. The sign above reads "Sell us this day our daily bread - that is, if we can afford to buy it," emphasizing the harsh reality faced by many individuals who were unable to afford even the most essential food items.
The historical significance of this photograph is palpable, as it serves as a reminder of the economic challenges and inequalities that have plagued societies throughout time. The juxtaposition of the word "sell" with images of cans and loaves of bread creates a powerful visual commentary on issues surrounding affordability, accessibility, and privilege.
As viewers gaze upon this thought-provoking image, they are transported back in time to an era where purchasing something as simple as bread was not guaranteed for everyone. It serves as a stark reminder of how far we have come in terms of food security while also shedding light on the ongoing struggles faced by marginalized communities around the world. This print is not just a snapshot from history but a timeless reflection on social justice and human rights.
