Description: | A photograph of a little girl standing on a bollard at Avonmouth Dock holding a bunch of bananas, taken by Smith for the Daily Herald newspaper on 30 December, 1945. This lucky little girl, Zoya Smith, holds some of the first bananas imported into Britain after the end of the second world war. This fruit came from the SS Tilapa, docked at Avonmouth Dock in Bristol. During the war most foodstuffs were rationed, especially those brought from overseas. Rationing did not officially end in Britain until 1954. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | gelatin silver print photograph | Temporal: | 30/12/1945 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Smith | Identifier: | 1983-5236/M11796 | Go to resource |
