We're Not Little Wretches - We're the Tanks!

EDITORS COMMENTS
(1917) by Leslie Shaw This charming and humorous cartoon print captures the spirit of childhood innocence and imagination during a time of great upheaval. Dated 1917, the image depicts two young boys, dressed in ragged clothing and wearing coal scuttles on their heads, transforming themselves into makeshift tanks. Their faces are focused and determined as they advance towards a frightened girl, who cowers in fear. The boys' playful intentions are clear, as they aim to scare their friend with their boisterous game. The cartoon, titled "We're Not Little Wretches - We're the Tanks!", is a testament to the resilience and creativity of children, even during the tumultuous period of World War I. The use of coal scuttles as tanks is a clever and amusing adaptation of the military vehicles that were making headlines at the time. The boys' pretend game not only provides a moment of levity but also serves as a reminder of the importance of play and imagination in the face of adversity. The print, created by British cartoonist Leslie Shaw, is a historical treasure that offers a unique perspective on the experiences of children during the Great War. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical cartoons, toys, or play memorabilia, and is sure to bring a smile to the faces of history enthusiasts, educators, and anyone who appreciates the simple joys of childhood. The print is available as a high-quality reproduction, perfect for framing and displaying in homes, classrooms, or offices. It is a reminder that even in the most challenging of times, the spirit of play and imagination can help us find joy and connection with one another.
