EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a damaged Cafe Colette card, sent from Swallow Street in London during the tumultuous year of 1940. The Second World War had reached the heart of the city, with the Blitz bringing devastating consequences for businesses like this one. The cafe, likely named Colette, was unable to continue operations due to enemy action, as indicated by the handwritten message on the card. The card, addressed to "United Laundries," bears the date of November 1940 and was likely sent to inform the laundry of the cafe's closure. The typographical error in the address, with "Close" misspelled as "Closed," adds an authentic touch to this historical artifact. The damage inflicted upon the cafe is evident in the torn edges of the card and the smudged ink. The Blitz, a series of aerial bombings by the German Air Force, wreaked havoc on London and its inhabitants. The city's streets were filled with the sounds of sirens, the flashes of explosions, and the cacophony of shattered glass. Businesses, homes, and lives were lost in the chaos, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. This damaged Cafe Colette card serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war years. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring spirit of community in the face of adversity.
