EDITORS COMMENTS
A Light-Hearted Moment Amidst the Darkness of War: A Family's Dinner Preparation in the 1940s This charming comic postcard, dating back to the 1940s, captures a humorous snapshot of family life during the tumultuous era of World War II. The image features a quintessential British family, huddled together in their cozy living room, each member donning a gas mask as they prepare for dinner. The father, dressed in a suit and tie, sits in an armchair, engrossed in the latest news from the newspaper. His wife, in a floral apron, holds a can of haricot beans, a common wartime staple, while their children, wide-eyed and curious, look on. The title of the postcard, "Beans for Dinner!", adds to the light-hearted tone of the scene, poking fun at the monotonous nature of wartime rationing. Despite the hardships and dangers that came with living through the Second World War, this comic postcard serves as a reminder of the resilience and humor that carried families through even the most challenging of times. The artist of this postcard is not known, but it is believed to be a work of Donald McGill, a renowned British comic artist known for his humorous and satirical postcards. This image, with its blend of humor and historical significance, continues to captivate and delight viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and the spirit of the people who lived through the 1940s.
