EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captured on a British propaganda postcard on 10 July 1916, just nine days after the Battle of the Somme, encapsulates the fighting spirit of a nation at war. The iconic symbols of the bulldog and Union flag stand proudly together, representing resilience, strength, and unity in the face of adversity during World War I.
The bulldog is a fitting symbol for Britain's determination and tenacity in battle, while the Union flag serves as a reminder of national pride and patriotism. In this time of great turmoil and sacrifice, these images were meant to inspire courage and solidarity among the British people.
Created by an unknown artist from Smith Bros in Croydon, this wartime propaganda piece was likely distributed widely to boost morale and support for the war effort. The date stamped on the postcard - July 10th, 1916 - places it squarely in one of the bloodiest conflicts in history.
As part of Holt's Battlefields Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, this print offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when nations stood united against a common enemy. It serves as both a poignant reminder of past sacrifices and a tribute to those who fought bravely for their country.
