Rayon linen headscarf, 1945. During the Second World War headscarves printed with patriotic slogans and motifs were very popular. This scarf, purchased at the end of the war from Bourne & Hollingsworth for 13s 10d and 1 coupon, envisages the pleasures of peacetime. The background is printed in ochre yellow with an outer border of repeating cream script lettering which reads 'apres la guerre' (after the war). Messages written on the clouds scattered over the ground of the scarf promise chocolates, new-laid eggs, hairgrips and an end to rationing. Clothes rationing was not abolished until 1949.
