EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming WW2 era comic postcard titled 'The Sun is Out' from circa 1942, published by Mary Evans Picture Library. The light-hearted image captures the innocence and resilience of children during wartime, as a little girl proudly displays her arms in akimbo position, holding up a washing line filled with clothes drying in the sun. The verse on the card reads, "Coupon trouble grows - she's naught to dry - but pegs." This humorous line speaks to the challenges of clothes rationing, which began in June 1941 and lasted until 1949. Despite the hardships, the children of the era found ways to add a touch of fun and amusement to their daily lives. Mabel Lucie Attwell, the talented artist behind this sweet caricature, expertly captures the spirit of the times with her whimsical and endearing style. This postcard is a delightful reminder of the innocence and determination that characterized the WW2 era.
