EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming WW2-era comic postcard, dated 1946, features a caricatured image of Winston Churchill on the front, with the caption "There is still a lot to do." The back of the card is inscribed with the message "Dear Granny, We are staying at Blackpool for three weeks and having a lovely time digging in the sand and riding on the donkeys." Despite Churchill's urgent words, the light-hearted scene on the card seems to have fallen on deaf ears as the children focus on their vacation activities. Published by Raphael Tuck and Sons, this postcard showcases the innocence and humor that emerged during the wartime era. The image of Churchill, with his signature cigar and determined expression, adds a touch of fun to the serious message he delivers. The card is further enhanced by the adorable depiction of a young boy and girl playing in the sand, accompanied by a small dog, and a loving couple on the beach in the background. The use of caricature and witty captions were common in postcards of this era, providing a much-needed respite from the harsh realities of war. This sweet and amusing postcard serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit and resilience of people during trying times.
