EDITORS COMMENTS
Just Carrying On: A Glimpse into the Wartime Humor of the 1940s Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War II, the spirit of resilience and determination shone brightly in the hearts and minds of the British people. As the war raged on, the home front remained steadfast, with the motto 'Keep Calm and Carry On' becoming a beacon of hope and inspiration. This charming comic postcard, titled 'Just Carrying,' is a delightful reminder of the lighter side of life during those trying times. Published circa 1940, this sweet and fun postcard features a caricatured scene of two young children, a boy in a tin helmet and a girl wearing a gas mask, casually carrying a large sack labeled 'War.' The innocent and carefree expressions on their faces convey a sense of lightheartedness and amusement, despite the heavy burden they are bearing. The artist, anonymous, masterfully captures the essence of wartime humor with this delightful image. The use of photochrom processing adds a touch of vibrancy and depth to the print, making it a cherished piece of history. The RAF insignia at the bottom left corner further authenticates the postcard's origin, adding to its historical significance. As we marvel at this charming relic from the past, we are reminded of the incredible strength and fortitude of the human spirit. 'Just Carrying On' is a testament to the power of humor and innocence in the face of adversity, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, we must never lose sight of the importance of finding joy and laughter in our lives.
