1817127400Germany: 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.

Sophie Bessis analyse dans cet ouvrage initialement publié en 1979 et régulièrement réédité comment l'alimentation est utilisée comme une arme par les grandes puissances notamment contre le tiers monde. Elle démontre que les causes des famines ne sont pas uniquement climatiques ou démographiques mais relèvent d'une organisation politique et économique inéquitable de la production et de la circulation des denrées alimentaires
