EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical illustration from The Story of Alican Land, written by Joan Hunt in the 1940s, we are transported to a world where Alican Land barrage balloons are used to push back the menacing misery dragons. These colorful balloons float gracefully in the sky, serving as a symbol of hope and protection for the inhabitants of Alican Land during World War II.
The artist has captured a sense of wonder and imagination in this scene, as children gaze up at the balloons with awe and admiration. The vibrant hues of red, blue, and yellow stand out against the dark clouds looming overhead, creating a striking contrast that draws the viewer's eye.
As we reflect on this image, we are reminded of the resilience and bravery shown by people during wartime. The use of barrage balloons was just one example of how communities came together to defend themselves against threats both real and imaginary. Through storytelling like The Story of Alican Land, children were able to find comfort and courage in times of uncertainty.
This print serves as a beautiful reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is always light to be found – whether it comes from colorful balloons floating high above or from within our own hearts.
