EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "There's a Long Long Trail Awinding" takes us back to the early 20th century, during the time of the Great War. The image showcases a bustling scene outside a shop, where people patiently wait in line for their turn to purchase food items, particularly potatoes. The atmosphere is filled with an air of resilience and orderliness as individuals stand in an orderly queue, demonstrating their well-behaved nature even amidst shortages and rationing. The postcard format adds a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot from history. Signed by Reg Maurice, this color lithograph captures not only the scarcity of resources but also highlights the importance placed on basic sustenance during wartime. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by communities during times of conflict. The presence of police officers in the background suggests that maintaining law and order was crucial even when it came to something as mundane as shopping for vegetables. This photograph encapsulates both the struggles and determination experienced by ordinary people on their daily quest for essential supplies. As we reflect upon this poignant moment frozen in time, we gain insight into how societies coped with adversity during one of humanity's darkest periods - World War I.
