EDITORS COMMENTS
Gosh Mister! Are you evacuating the whole town? It's hard to believe that between 1939 and the end of 1941, an estimated 200,000 people were evacuated from towns to the countryside during the tumultuous era of World War II. This charming comic postcard, circa 1940, captures the sweet innocence of the time through its light-hearted and amusing depiction of the evacuation process. The caricatured image of a harassed man in a bowler hat, pushing a pram filled to the brim with children's belongings, adds a touch of fun and humor to the historical event. The children, with their rosy cheeks and wide-eyed expressions, seem oblivious to the chaos around them, embodying the innocence of childhood even in the midst of wartime. Published by an unknown artist, this postcard is a delightful reminder of the resilience and determination of the British people during the 2nd World War.
