When Am I Goin' to See You Again?
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Heartfelt Message from Home in WW2 Era Comic Postcard During the tumultuous times of World War II, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, moments of lightheartedness and warmth continued to shine through. This charming comic postcard, dated circa 1941, captures the essence of such a moment. The front of the card features a caricature of a cute, lonely girl standing behind a wooden gate with her dog, gazing wistfully into the distance. The title, "When Am I Goin' to See You Again?" adds a playful touch to the scene. On the back of the card, a plaintive message from a parent to an evacuee child brings a poignant contrast to the cheerful image on the front. "Do you still miss us, my darling?" the message reads, "I will be delighted to have a little card from you. Probably a parent writing to an evacuee child who has been moved out of the danger zones for safety," explains the context of this heartfelt message. The artist behind this delightful creation was Mabel Lucie Attwell, a renowned British illustrator known for her charming and humorous works. This postcard, with its blend of innocence and longing, serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. This piece of history, published by Valentine & Sons, Co. Dundee, Scotland, is a testament to the power of connection and the enduring bond between loved ones, no matter the distance or circumstances.
