apron

White cotton bib apron with a red-and-white check pattern, printed with reproduced World War II British Ministry of Food (« MoF ») wartime recipe content under the heading « Wartime Cooking » and the « Food — Don’t Waste It » slogan. Printed recipes include « Soup for Air Raids, » « Mock Goose, » and « Victory Sponge, » each with ingredients and method, illustrated with cartoon figures in a mid-century advertising style. The apron carries « The Imperial War Museum » branding at the base, along with a maker’s label reading « Sally Jayne Textiles, » and a note confirming « All Cotton, British Made. »

A modern commercial reproduction item, evidently sold as a souvenir/gift shop product by the Imperial War Museum, reproducing genuine wartime rationing-era recipe content for a contemporary audience rather than dating from the war period itself.
