EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War II, a young girl's spirit of adventure refuses to be quelled. In this comic postcard from circa 1942, we see a determined little traveller, her rosy cheeks and bright eyes beaming with excitement, bidding farewell to her loved ones as she prepares to embark on a journey. Armed with a hat box, a suitcase, and her cherished violin, she stands on the railway platform, her labels neatly attached to her belongings. An umbrella rests at her feet, a testament to the unpredictable British weather. The war may have brought hardships and uncertainty, but it could not halt the indomitable spirit of travel. The steam train awaits, its whistle echoing in the distance, signalling the start of her new adventure. This humorous and heartwarming image offers a glimpse into the resilience and optimism of the 1940s, a time when even in the midst of conflict, the human spirit continued to seek joy and exploration.
