First World War - Blackout cartoon postcard
Hoping to see more of you - mindful of the blackout enforced in London during World War one, this couple look forward to getting a better view of each other when their paths next cross! A limited version of the total blackout experienced during World War Two had been introduced in 1915 during the First World War, when German Zeppelins began to drop bombs on their enemy. But then the lights were subdued or dimmed rather than dowsed, and only when a Zeppelin was known to be en route. Date: circa 1915

EDITORS COMMENTS
In the dimly lit streets of London during the First World War, the inescapable threat of Zeppelin raids cast an ominous shadow over daily life. Amidst the darkness and uncertainty, this charming blackout cartoon postcard captures the longing and anticipation of a couple, eagerly looking forward to their next encounter. The limited blackout, introduced in 1915, was a far cry from the total blackout experienced during World War Two. During the First World War, the lights were subdued or dimmed only when a Zeppelin was known to be en route, casting an eerie beam of light on the pavement as people huddled in the shadows, their feet illuminated by the flickering torchlight. Despite the fear and anxiety that pervaded the night, the couple's hopeful gaze towards each other serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to find light in the darkest of times. This evocative image, filled with longing and humour, invites us to reflect on the enduring power of love and connection, even in the face of war.
