I'm Doing My Knit - A Playful Wartime Humor from 1941
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the somber and trying times of the World War II era, a sense of humor and innocence found its way into the hearts of people through comic postcards. One such delightful find is this charming postcard titled "I'm Doing My Knit," published by Valentine & Sons, Dundee, featuring the artwork of Mabel Lucie Attwell. The image captures a young girl, her face framed by a pair of gas masks hanging on the wall behind her. With a determined look on her face, she sits in a chair, holding a huge ball of wool in her lap and a pair of knitting needles in her hands. The caption reads, "I'm Doing My Knit - a play on the wartime need to 'do your bit.' " The caricatured style of the artwork adds to the light-hearted and amusing nature of the postcard. The girl's expression, her posture, and the props around her all contribute to the sense of fun and innocence that contrasts the harsh realities of the war. The use of the gas masks as a backdrop adds a subtle nod to the ongoing conflict, reminding us that even in the most challenging of times, there is always room for a laugh. This postcard, created in 1941 by Mabel Lucie Attwell, is a testament to the resilience and humor of the human spirit during the WWII era. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple joys of life, even in the face of adversity.
