EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and comical WW2 Christmas greetings card, titled "Put Out That Light!", captures the spirit of wartime humor during the 1940s. The illustration depicts an Air Raid Precautions warden sternly demanding that even Santa Claus must adhere to blackout regulations by extinguishing his light. In the midst of World War II, when cities were plunged into darkness to evade enemy air raids, this whimsical scene reminds us of the importance of safety precautions even during the festive season. The juxtaposition of a beloved holiday figure like Santa Claus being reprimanded for his glowing beacon adds a touch of lightheartedness to an otherwise somber time in history. The attention to detail in this vintage Christmas card is truly remarkable, from Santa's traditional red suit to the warden's authoritative stance. It serves as a poignant reminder of how people found ways to inject humor and creativity into their daily lives amidst the challenges and uncertainties brought about by war. As we reflect on this historical artifact from the March of Women Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ability to capture a snapshot of resilience and camaraderie during one of humanity's darkest periods.
