EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Charming WW2-Era Comic Postcard Depicting the Popularity of Cycling During Petrol Rationing During the tumultuous days of the Second World War, the spirit of resilience and innovation shone brightly, even amidst the hardships and challenges faced by people across the globe. This delightful comic postcard, dated circa 1944, titled "We'll be seeing you somehow," is a testament to the wartime humor and the ingenious ways people adapted to the scarcity of resources, particularly petrol. Petrol was severely rationed during the war, and only certain professions and trades were permitted to use it. As a result, cycling became an increasingly popular mode of transportation for the general public. This charming postcard, published by Regent Artist, Kit Forres, captures the essence of this era with its light-hearted and amusing depiction of two cute children on a tandem bicycle. The little girl, dressed in a red dress and a sun hat, pedals diligently while her brother, wearing a blue shirt and a cap, clings onto her back. The boy holds a doll in his hand, adding a touch of innocence to the scene. The children's cheerful expressions and the playful caption, "We'll be seeing you somehow," reflect the optimism and determination that characterized the wartime spirit. This postcard, with its delightful caricature and captivating caption, serves as a reminder of the ingenuity, humor, and resilience that carried people through the challenges of the WW2 era.
