EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative early 20th century postcard, dated August 3, 1914, captures the tender emotion and longing that comes with the separation of a loving couple. The image portrays a man in military uniform, holding his beloved close in a heartfelt embrace as she clings to him, her eyes filled with tears and her expression one of deep sadness and anticipation. The caption below reads, "Will you think of me, when I am away?" - a poignant question that resonates with the uncertainty and anxiety that came with the looming threat of war. Interestingly, this postcard was sent just four days before Britain declared war on Germany, marking the beginning of World War I. The date, 1914, is etched into the history books as a turning point in human history, and this postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the personal stories and emotions that were woven into the larger tapestry of that time. The classic design of this sentimental postcard, with its simple yet powerful imagery and heartfelt message, speaks to the enduring nature of love and the human desire to connect with one another, even in the face of adversity. It is a testament to the power of emotion and the importance of holding on to the things that matter most, no matter the distance or the challenges that lie ahead.
