EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War II, a sense of longing and resilience shines through in this charming comic postcard from 1943. The image on the front features a young girl in her Sunday best, clutching a small suitcase and gazing wistfully over her shoulder as she waits on a railway platform. A caricatured Winston Churchill, in typical jovial fashion, is shown sending her off with an encouraging message: "Stand together and hold firm." The whimsical touch of Churchill's speech bubble, combined with the girl's determined expression and the playful inclusion of a dog and a fur-clad dinah fox, adds a delightful layer of wartime humor to the scene. The postcard, published by Raphael Tuck and Co., showcases the ability of artists like Dinah Fox and her collaborators to capture the essence of the era through light-hearted, amusing imagery. Despite the hardships and uncertainty that defined the WWII era, this postcard serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit and innocence that persisted even in the most trying of times. The little girl's belief that her journey is "really necessary" encapsulates the courage and determination that defined the era, making this a truly endearing and poignant piece of history.
