EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print from the March of the Women Collection captures a unique piece of history from World War II - Gracie and the National Fire Service. The illustrated Gracie doll card, outfitted in a wartime NFS women's uniform, gives us a glimpse into the role that children played in supporting the war effort. During WWII, children were encouraged to participate in various activities to help boost morale and show support for those serving on the front lines. This Gracie doll card is a perfect example of how even toys were used to educate and engage young minds during this tumultuous time. The attention to detail on this card is remarkable, with Gracie dressed in an authentic NFS uniform complete with badge and utility belt. The only thing missing is her hat, but that doesn't detract from her patriotic spirit. As we look back at this snapshot from the 1940s, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by women who served as firefighters during WWII. Their bravery and dedication should never be forgotten, and this print serves as a tribute to their important contribution to the war effort. Overall, this image encapsulates both the innocence of childhood play and the seriousness of wartime duty - making it a truly special piece of history captured on paper.
