EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming WW2-era comic postcard, published by the Free Press in 1945, showcases three adorable Scottish boys in traditional tartan attire, donning hats and engaging in a light-hearted moment of wartime humor. The caption reads, "Prime Minister's Message: This is a time for everyone to stand together and hold firm." The boys, with their innocent expressions and cheerful demeanor, are depicted reading a newspaper with great interest. The artist, Raphael, skillfully captures the essence of childhood innocence amidst the backdrop of a serious historical period. Tuck and Dinah, two popular comic characters of the time, add to the playful atmosphere of the image. The boys' costumes, complete with kilts and plaid hats, represent the Scottish heritage and pride that was deeply rooted in the culture of the time. The use of caricature and humorous illustration served as a coping mechanism for people during the challenging times of the 2nd World War. This postcard, with its sweet and fun depiction of childhood and wartime spirit, serves as a reminder of the resilience and unity that carried people through the darkest days of the 20th century. A delightful piece of history, this postcard is a testament to the power of humor and the enduring spirit of humanity.
