Description
|
|
|
|
While England and the United States both endured wartime rationing in the early 1940s, Britain's shattered economy after the war meant that rationing and deprivation went on well into the 1950s. This book collects the best examples of publications from Britain's Board of Trade and Ministry of Agriculture during this period of austerity, advising citizens on everything from growing and canning their own food to accessorizing basic garments to make new outfits, and how to take a holiday without spending. There is a goldmine of practical advice here, just as helpful today, as well as black and white and color illustrations of the times.
