WWI Strasbourg & Alsace Ration Coupon Collage Folk Art 1917-1919
Fascinating piece of early 20th-century folk art ephemera, basically a dense, grid-like collage of WWI-era ration coupons, municipal cards, postal fragments, and printed labels, assembled on a period rigid backer and centered around Strasbourg (Strassburg) in German-controlled Alsace.
This snap of civilian/military life near the end and just after WW1 was made by someone saving and sorting these scraps of daily ration paper and turning them into a piece of art. Remarkably intact and well preserved some 109 years later.
Professionally mounted in full float view with a custom double mat in hunter green and brick, set in a simple wood frame with real glass glazing. Mounted to the mat using archival low-tack transfer tape, so reversible if you are compelled to reframe. Resealed and ready to hang. If curious, further historical details follow at the bottom.
Dimensions
- Overall frame: approximately 26" x 20"
- Visible artwork: approximately 20" x 16"
Condition
- Even, warm toning throughout; no evidence of significant UV exposure or fading.
- Printed text and details remain crisp and legible across the full surface.
- Edges of the artboard show natural irregularity.
- Period backer board shows age-appropriate wear on reverse; structurally sound.
- Remounted in full float view using archival low-tack transfer tape; reversible.
- Real glass glazing; simple wood frame, new.
- New hanging hardware installed; display-ready.
