1942 Greenwich Issued Lost Ministry Off Ice Ration Rationing Returned
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of a Ministry of Food ration book issued in July 1942 offers a poignant glimpse into the realities of wartime Britain. During World War II, rationing was an essential part of daily life as resources were scarce and needed for the war effort. The front cover of this historical document bears the instructions to return it to the Greenwich food office if lost, highlighting the importance placed on these precious books.
The events depicted in this image speak volumes about the sacrifices made by individuals on the home front during times of conflict. Rationing meant carefully managing limited supplies of food and other essentials, ensuring that everyone received their fair share. It was a time when communities came together to support each other through difficult circumstances.
Looking at this ration book from 1942, we are reminded of the resilience and resourcefulness shown by people during wartime. Despite facing hardships and uncertainty, they found ways to make do with what they had and persevere through challenging times. This piece of history serves as a powerful reminder of our shared past and the strength that can be found in unity and solidarity.
