Cupones de racionamiento / Rationing Coupons
“Cupones de racionamiento” or rationing coupons, issued by the Republican side (during the Spanish Civil War).
Sheets are perforated so that coupons can be separated. Artwork printed and/or handcolored on verso, with coupon information on recto: values, specific foods, also names of towns where issued and/or valid. Some of the rationing coupons are dated.
I don't own any myself, but you'll find them offered on web sites like Delcampe, Ebay and other sites that cater for collectors. Some give a very good pictor of that time in history, showing so much more than just the naive pencil drawing... Glad you appreciate the post!
Daan, these are fantastic. Where do they come from?
