EDITORS COMMENTS
Wot a Fing to Have: A Delightfully Humorous WW2-Era Comic Postcard Step back in time to the wartime era with this charming and amusing postcard from 1945. The image on the card, titled "Wot a Fing to Have to Go to Bed wif," showcases a sweet and innocent scene of a young girl in a dressing gown and curlers, holding a hot water bottle and gazing longingly at a caricatured soldier in uniform. The message on the card begins with the words "Hello Darling" and continues with a playful and suggestive hint: "What do you think of this card? When I saw it I just had to get it. I hope you'll take the hint and do something about it!!!" This light-hearted and humorous postcard is a testament to the resilient spirit and sense of humor that prevailed during the challenging times of the WW2 era. The artist behind this delightful creation is Mabel Lucie Attwell, a prolific British illustrator known for her whimsical and endearing depictions of children. This postcard, published by Valentine & Sons, Co. in Dundee, Scotland, is a charming reminder of the innocence and joy that could be found even in the midst of war. The use of the term "fing" in the title is a nod to the popular wartime slang of the time, adding an extra layer of authenticity to this unique and collectible piece of history.
