Description
Refrigerator. Woman demonstrating proper use of a refrigerator in the USA in the 1940s as part of a public information photo-shoot. Fridge technology had been developing since the mid-19th century, with the first electric fridges appearing in the early 20th century. Refrigerators for the home were not mass produced until 1946, after the Second World War. This photoshoot, in February 1942, was by US photographer Ann Rosener (1914-2012), part of her wartime work for the Office of War Information and the Office for Emergency Management.
