1914 1918 Clay Coal Economic Economy Efficient Make Measure Mixing Substitute

EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a fascinating economy measure employed during World War One - the mixing of coal-slack with clay to create an efficient substitute for coal. This innovative solution was a response to the scarcity of resources during the war, demonstrating the resourcefulness and adaptability of individuals in times of crisis. The image is taken from The Pageant of the Century, published in 1934, offering a glimpse into this historical practice that helped sustain communities during one of the most challenging periods in modern history. The juxtaposition of materials like coal-slack and clay highlights the ingenuity required to overcome shortages and maintain essential services. As we reflect on this snapshot from the past, we are reminded of the sacrifices made and creative solutions devised by those who lived through World War One. It serves as a testament to human resilience and determination in overcoming adversity. Through this photograph, we are transported back to a time when every resource was precious and every effort towards conservation mattered. It is a powerful reminder of how individuals can come together in times of need to find practical solutions that benefit society as a whole.
