EDITORS COMMENTS
Early Birds: A Delightful Moment of Whimsy Amidst the Tensions of WWII This charming comic postcard, dated 1945, titled "Early Birds," offers a delightful respite from the somber realities of the WWII era. The image features a robin perched on a windowsill, its bright red breast contrasting against the muted tones of the background. The small flower bed below is adorned with a variety of colorful blooms, a far cry from the vegetable gardens that were encouraged for home production during wartime. In the foreground, a young girl in a sun hat and dress, named Dinah, playfully begs a dog for a ride on its back. The caricatured expression on Mr. Churchill's face, peeking in from the window, serves as a reminder of the seriousness that lay just beyond the frame. His message, "You must not weaken in any way in your alert and vigilant frame of mind," underscores the importance of staying focused amidst the chaos of war. The innocence and lightheartedness of this scene offer a poignant contrast to the hardships and sacrifices of the time. Published by Raphael Tuck & Sons, this postcard is a testament to the power of humor and whimsy to bring joy and levity to even the most trying of times.
