EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of the 1940s with this charming WW2-era comic postcard titled 'Watch Your Step.' This delightful illustration depicts a little girl in a white dress, her innocent expression contrasting starkly with the warning sign beneath her feet. The scarcity of fine materials during wartime meant that brides had to get creative, and second-hand dresses were often converted using unconventional materials. Parachute silk, a highly sought-after fabric due to its strength and sheen, became a popular choice for wedding gowns. The playful scene on this postcard, featuring a caricatured child in a parachute silk dress, is a testament to the wartime spirit of making the best of limited resources. The artist, Raphael Tuck, skillfully captures the essence of wartime humour with the addition of a mischievous boy and a black cat in the background. This light-hearted postcard, published circa 1945, offers a sweet and amusing glimpse into the past.
