EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard from the 1940s, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the spirit of patriotism and dedication to the war effort that swept through America during World War II. The image features a young girl, dressed in a summer sundress and sandals, standing on a sandy beach with a star-spangled banner tucked under her arm. She holds out a hand in a salute, her other hand cradling a bundle of war bonds and stamps. The message "Buy War Bonds and Stamps" is inscribed in bold letters at the bottom of the card, accompanied by an image of a spangled banner and the insignia of the US Army Air Force. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, with waves crashing onto the shore and seagulls flying overhead. The girl's beach attire and the pebbles at her feet add a touch of idyllic normalcy to the image, serving as a reminder that everyday life continued even as the nation prepared for war. The image is a poignant representation of the sacrifices made by Americans during this time, as they came together to support the military and help finance the war effort. The girl's determined expression and the sense of unity conveyed by the image make it a powerful reminder of the spirit of patriotism and resilience that defined the American people during World War II.
