Product detail

The British people endured rationing for 14 years. This 'Yesteryear Scrapbook' depicts the people's resentment of the State's control of the post-war world. Clothes, food, furniture and petrol were the main targets of a system of denial. See how little each person had at a time when other countries' shops heaved with food.

The 'Yesteryear Scrapbook' Rationing – Britain Can Take It is a revelation to people who have known only plenty.
