EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing WWII-era greetings card features a charming black cat donning a helmet marked "OK" against a backdrop of graphic war designs. The card, which dates back to approximately 1942, is a captivating example of the unique ephemera and correspondence that emerged during the tumultuous 1940s. The use of a black cat as a symbol of good luck and safety during wartime is an interesting departure from the more common military motifs of the era. The cat's helmet, adorned with a star and the letters "U.S.N," adds a playful touch to the design, while the overall graphic style is both stylish and historically significant. The card's simple yet effective design is a testament to the creativity and resourcefulness of the era, as people sought to find ways to bring a sense of normalcy and joy to their wartime correspondence. This card is not only a fascinating piece of historical ephemera, but also a reminder of the resilience and ingenuity of the human spirit during times of adversity.
