EDITORS COMMENTS
Table Turned on the Diner: A Playful Warning from the Home Front, 1945" During the tumultuous times of World War II, moments of levity and humor were cherished as a balm to the daily hardships and anxieties of wartime life. This charming comic postcard, titled "Table Turned on the Diner," captures the essence of such a moment. The image depicts a surprised and abashed gentleman, with a look of disbelief on his face, as he finds himself seated at a table that has been suddenly and dramatically turned upside down by a pretty young waitress. The other patrons in the diner, also taken aback by the unexpected event, lean back in their chairs, watching the scene unfold with amusement. The waitress, with a stern expression and a finger pointed warningly, gazes at the gentleman with a clear message: "See that you're polite to our waitresses - we can get plenty of customers." The playful scene serves as a reminder of the importance of politeness and respect, even in the midst of the challenges and stresses of wartime. The postcard, produced in 1945, is a testament to the resilience and good humor of the people during this period, and a reminder of the simple pleasures that could still be found in everyday life. This delightful postcard is part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. It is not to be used for commercial purposes and is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the wartime experience and the enduring power of humor to bring people together.
