How the World is Fed
Description
An account of the resource
Tobacco gets its own chapter in this reader, part of a series on “the great industries of the world.” This copy was once in the library at the Camrose Provincial Normal School. The book’s treatment of ethnicity and cultural differences is cavalier at best: in India, “farmers are black or dark brown” and have few wants. Though food might be a window into other cultures, it is often circumscribed by the opinions and politics of the place and period. But it is this very circumscription that makes food such an excellent marker of individual and social relations: the pineapple farm in Cuba is owned by an American, and an expansive railway system facilitates harvesting. The introduction to <em>How the World is Fed</em>, indeed, emphasizes progressive-era lessons in economics: “it is through commerce that food is carried all over the world, from the places where each kind can be raised the cheapest, and sold for money in exchange.”

Ration Book
Description
An account of the resource
Canada practiced rationing from 1942 to 1947. It began with sugar, but soon extended to beer, wine, and spirits, tea and coffee, butter, and meat. Rationing in Canada was relatively mild compared to England, where the policy lasted from 1940 to 1954. And while Canadians were allotted eight ounces of butter per person per week, for example, Britons received only two ounces of butter and four ounces of margarine. Although legally ration coupons were supposed to be removed only by the store clerk or delivery boy, they were quietly shared among friends and relatives. This book belonged to editor Arthur Balmer Watt, husband of Gertrude Balmer Watt (1879–1963). Gertrude was a journalist and antique dealer, and a charter member of the Canadian Women’s Press Club. Her fonds are in the University of Alberta Archives.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>Around the same time as photography’s discovery, <a href="https://library.vicu.utoronto.ca/collections/special_collections/george_baxter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George Baxter</a> developed a process of colour printing known as <a href="https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/explore/glossary-of-art-terms/chromolithograph" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chromolithography</a>, which he patented in 1835. The portraits of the Emperor and Princess of Prussia seen here employ that process in order to create r<span>ichly-coloured portraits that commemorate the powerful and the wealthy. In comparison to </span><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3125">daguerreotypes</a><span><span><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3125"> of middle-class patrons like that of Mrs Morrow</a>, these could be, and were intended to be, circulated widely in order to promote a public identity. </span></span></p>
