FAMINE
Hunger bun marking the famine of 1816-17.
Germany: 1817. A relic from the Year Without a Summer This small "Hungersemmel" produced in German-speaking countries during the famine of 1816-17 illustrates the severity of the food shortage. It was kept as a memento of the hardship as the accompanying note explains: "This 2-penny bun is from the expensive time of the year 1817 stored here as a memorial on the 12th of July. Paid by Carl Weißenbach" our translation. The price of such famine buns remained unchanged throughout the period but their size decreased as the stock of flour dwindled. Bakers supplemented their scarce flour with inedible material such as sawdust straw and tree bark and added whiteners such as alum chalk gypsum and burnt bones Angerer p. 165. They were often passed through families to remember the dead although some public institutions such as churches and town halls also displayed them. The famine resulted in the first wave of German emigration in the 19th century with many fleeing to Poland Russia and the United States. "Hunger pastries" are scarce survivals. The Museum der Brotkultur in Ulm holds five similar examples. Four more are traced in the Historical Museum in Regensburg and two in the Gerätemuseum in Ahorn near Coburg Angerer p. 162. The note in German reads: "Diese 2-Pfennigsemmel ist von der theuren Zeit des Jahres 1817. Als Andenken hierin aufbewahrt am 12. July. Von Carl Weißenbach bezahlt". Dried bun 60 x 40 x 25 mm accompanied by a folded manuscript note in German. Housed in a contemporary black card box. Bun darkened and with some expected damage including insect; manuscript note browned finger-stained and with a 20 mm tear; box worn. In good condition. Birgit Angerer Gutes Wetter - Schlechtes Wetter 2013; Dorothee Bayer O gib mir Brot: Die Hungerjahre 1816 und 1817 in Württemberg und Baden 1966. unknown

1943. Indian famine crisis press archive depicting hunger relief work and public unrest from Bengal famine conditions through later food riots in independent India. The Bengal Famine of 1943 killed an estimated three million people and food scarcity remained politically volatile in India for decades afterward. Street demonstrations over grain rationing and hunger drew police deployments in multiple cities turning food access into a public order crisis as well as a humanitarian emergency.<br /> <br /> Photo archive of 7 silver gelatin press photographs mostly measuring 8" x 10" India 1943-1964. Crowds gather outside food distribution points children sit with metal bowls during feeding mounted police face demonstrators and uniformed officers move through dense street scenes. Press captions identify Calcutta famine conditions food rioters dispersed by police in Kerala fighting and fire in Lucknow and relief activity for famine victims. Typed captions identify "food rioters" being dispersed outside the Travancore state government house in Trivandrum Kerala where police and mounted officers filled the street after looting over food. Another caption describes Lucknow fighting in which "rioters set fire to about a six-block square" with crowds massed near burning buildings and shopfront signs. Calcutta scenes show famine victims clustered around relief vessels and feeding bowls with one caption stating that people had been "reduced to skin and bone" after food shortages. A street-side feeding scene shows children and adults crouched in rows with metal dishes receiving food from a man holding a large bucket.Verso stamps include Acme Newspictures NEA reference markings New York Bureau labels editor crop marks typed captions and publication dates.<br /> <br /> The group connects famine mortality postwar scarcity and street protest in India across a period when food distribution became a central test of colonial and postcolonial government authority.

A strong press group linking famine relief imagery with the public unrest that followed hunger into India's mid-century political life. unknown

IRISH FAMINE
Advertisement for Grinnell's line of packet ships sailing from Ireland to New York.
New York: Bowman Grinnell & Co. c.1850s. Fleeing to a new life in America An advertising poster assuring American patrons that Bowman Grinnell & Co. could be trusted to relocate their relatives from Ireland in comfort. The advertisement lists the addresses of the company's agents the names of their ships and the procedures for emigrating from Ireland. Throughout the Great Famine of 1845 to 1852 many companies took advantage of emigrants' desperation to force them to travel in overcrowded and understocked vessels and coffin ships or to scam them out of their money. As printed on this item "Bowman Grinnell & Co. have seen and witnessed with feelings of regret for a long time that something was necessary for the protection of the Irish people in the United States sending their remittances to their friends in Ireland. from the numberless disappointments they have lately met with and in many instances the heartless frauds that have been practiced on them by parties professing to bring them out on ships over which they had no control or with which they had no connexion". Bowman Grinnell & Co. was formed in the 1850s by William Bowman and Robert Minturn Grinnell of the Grinnell Minturn & Co. shipping line owners of the famous Flying Cloud clipper ship. It claims that their ships listed with their captains' names were fast well-ventilated and comfortably furnished that their drafts could be cashed anywhere in Ireland and that baggage would be transported for free. Single sheet 444 x 265 mm printed in red black and blue on one side only vignettes. Ink number on verso 19th-century pencil inscription on lower right corner. Sometime folded loss on lower left corner barely affecting printed area light toning and soiling especially on verso: a very good copy of an ephemeral item. unknown

John Whittaker of Wigan, journalist [ pseudonym 'A Lancashire Lad' ] [ The Lancashire Cotton Famine, 1861-1865; Wigan Standard n
The Lancashire Cotton Famine 1861-1865. Autograph Letter from 'John Whittaker "A Lancashire Lad."' to J. B. Langley
'"Standard" Office Wigan May 27th. 1862.'. For the background to this letter see William Otto Henderson 'The Lancashire Cotton Famine 1861-65' 1934 and Angela V. John 'By the Sweat of their Brow' 2013. Between 14 April and 16 October 1862 Whittaker published a dozen letters on the 'Lancashire Distress' in the London Times under the pseudonym of 'A Lancashire Lad'. Edwin Waugh in his 'Home Life of the Lancashire Factory Folk During the Cotton Famine' 1867 describes Whittaker as 'one of the first writers whose appeals through the press drew serious attention to the great distress in Lancashire during the Cotton Famine. There is no doubt that his letters in The Times and to the Lord Mayor of London led to the Mansion House Fund. In The Times of April 14 1862 appeared the first of a series of letters pleading the cause of the distressed operatives.' The letter is 2pp. 12mo. Bifolium on grey paper. In fair condition aged and worn. Whittaker begins by apologising to Langley for sending only part of the note intended for him but as Langley has 'gathered the sense of what the whole note contained' he will not trouble him 'with the same thing again'. Regarding his seventh 'Lancashire Lad' letter he writes: 'In today's Times I try to correct the statement made by the chairman of your Board of Guardians last week. It is a great pity that he should have made that statement especially as about the very time that he was making it I was consulting with others as to the 400£ distributed to Preston and other towns. He ought to have seen that it is injurious to make any statement which may lead to cavilling and the more so in a case like this where the thousands of out-of-work-operatives are becoming more and more dependent upon what is being contributed for their relief. He concludes by suggesting that 'all ought to combine in helping and that each ought to be specially careful not to say or do anything which might lead to lessening the help afforded to our poor'. Whittaker's later activities are clouded in obscurity. In 1869 the 'Bookseller' reported that 'Mr. John Whittaker whose letters in " The Times" under the signature of " A Lancashire Lad" led to the formation of the Mansion-House Relief Fund has we are informed left the staff of The Daily Telegraph upon which paper he has been engaged during the last few years and joined that of The Echo the new half-penny daily paper.' '"Standard" Office | Wigan | May 27th. 1862.' unknown
