EDITORS COMMENTS
"Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War, moments of levity and humor found their way into the daily lives of soldiers and civilians alike. This humorous German postcard from 1917, now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the playful banter between a young soldier and a pretty nurse in a train carriage. The soldier, mindful of the disapproving gaze of the young lady's mother, takes a tactical approach to their flirtatious discussions. He shields himself with his great coat, creating a makeshift barrier between them and the prying eyes of the outside world. The scene is a charming reminder of the human spirit's ability to find joy and connection even in the most trying of circumstances. The postcard's humorous take on counter-intelligence adds an unexpected layer of amusement to the image, making it a delightful addition to any collection of World War I memorabilia."
