EDITORS COMMENTS
Two to One: A Light-Hearted Moment Amidst the WW2 Chaos Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War II, the British spirit of resilience and humor found a way to shine through the darkness. This charming comic postcard, published by Raphael Tuck & Sons and featuring the artistic touch of Dinah Little, captures the essence of this spirit with its delightful scene. Dated circa 1945, the postcard depicts a young boy and a girl, their eyes wide with excitement, as they eagerly place their bets on a roundabout at a funfair. The caption reads, 'Two to One,' reflecting the optimistic anticipation of a potential win. During the war, the British Government, in an unexpected move, deemed sports betting to be an acceptable form of entertainment. Despite an initial decline in gambling activities due to the economic and social upheaval of the war, options like the football pools and Irish horse racing became increasingly popular amongst the populace. This postcard, with its cheerful illustration and playful caption, serves as a reminder of the enduring human spirit that found joy and amusement in the most unexpected places, even during the harrowing times of WW2.
