Hi Marc - I don’t see a wartime and immediate postwar (rebuilding) category, so I’m sending this to you here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nationaalarchief/2948562043/in/set-72157608106310116/
Cartoon about saving bicycle wheels/tires. I like how the portly, elderly lady has her handbag on her handlebar in a way I’ve seen modern Dutch women (many much younger and more svelte, but also contemporary elderly women who would have been teens then) doing.
Of course back then it would never have occurred to the husband to do the shopping himself. Fortunately times have changed.
Hi Maria, thanks for that, but I subscribed to that last week, after it had just come out! You and I have our eyes on the right/same stuff, huh?
Will be cherry picking soon!
