EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1940s with this charming print of "In The Quartermaster's Stores," an illustrated WW2 music sheet cover. Adapted by Box, Cox, and Bert Read, this catchy tune was introduced, broadcasted, and recorded by Al and Bob Harvey. The portrait photograph captures the duo in a whimsical scene set in a wartime grocery store.
The image transports us to a bygone era when rationing and shortages were commonplace during World War II. The quirky details of the store evoke nostalgia for a simpler time when everyday items were scarce but camaraderie among neighbors was abundant.
Located on Cavendish 295 Regent Street in London, this snapshot offers a glimpse into daily life during the war years. As we admire the intricate illustrations on the music sheet cover, we can almost hear the harmonious melodies that Al and Bob Harvey brought to audiences across Britain.
March of the Women Collection has curated this historical gem from Mary Evans Prints Online, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistry of wartime music but also the resilience and spirit of those who lived through such challenging times. Let this print serve as a reminder of our shared history and enduring strength in times of adversity.
