Summary
  • Four separate images around a dividing X framework within a vertical rectangle: at the top, the armored Don Quixote in three-quarter length frontal pose, stands with lance and shield before a profile dragon; at the bottom, Sancho Panza, also in frontal pose holds a canteen and stands before a huge cheese wheel, with a loaf of bread and sausages in the corners; to the left a crew of costumed characters ride on a wooden wagon; to the right, an armored knight on horseback poses.
Description
  • Coupons for individual meals - "vale por una comida"
  • The ration coupons were likely made during the 1970s and bear no resemblance to any surviving examples of real or official ration coupons printed and issued during the Spanish Civil War.
  • Sheet No.74: Four individual images, including portraits of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, a knight astride his horse, and a wooden cart full of costumed performers divided across 10 perforated coupons. Verso features coupons redeemable for a single meal at Auxilio Social Comedor in Redondo (Palencia), 1943.
  • Recto: Image related to Don Quixote. Verso: perforated and divided into ten small ration coupons.
