EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming WW2 era comic postcard, dated circa 1940, titled "Dear Mums - I am thinking of you," showcases a heartfelt message on the back accompanied by a whimsical illustration on the front. The front design features a rosy-cheeked little girl with a cherries-in-a-trug basket, a common symbol of innocence and innocuousness during wartime. The girl, an evacuee, is depicted with a determined expression and a thought bubble above her head, suggesting her deep thoughts are focused on her loved ones back home. The message on the reverse reads, "My Dear Mum and Dad, I don't think I need write much here, the front explains quite a lot, don't you think? Not very nice here at the moment, bit showery. Well, cheerio all my love. Xxx." The postcard's humorous and light-hearted tone offers a glimpse into the resilient spirit of the era, as families and children endured the challenges of wartime life. The artwork is attributed to Mabel Lucie Attwell, a renowned British artist known for her sweet and amusing illustrations of children. This postcard, published by Valentine & Sons, Co. Dundee, Scotland, serves as a poignant reminder of the simple joys and comforts found in the midst of adversity. The enduring appeal of this postcard lies in its ability to evoke emotions of nostalgia, hope, and love, making it a cherished piece of wartime history.
