EDITORS COMMENTS
In the spirit of wartime innovation and resourcefulness, this charcoal drawing by Blam captures the humorous side of the blackout regulations during World War II. The image features a soldier, a vicar, and a farmer collaborating to paint white stripes on a horse, with a curious dog and a skeptical blackbird looking on. The quotation above reads, "So as er south side won't be run into during black-out nights, Vicar." Dating back to 1939, this illustration is a testament to the collective efforts of the community during a time of crisis. The use of charcoal adds a raw, expressive quality to the image, bringing the characters to life and emphasizing the urgency of their task. The scene is reminiscent of the 1930s and the unique challenges that the 20th century presented. This caricature, with its lighthearted take on the blackout regulations, offers a glimpse into the resilience and creativity of the British people during wartime. It serves as a reminder of the shared experiences and the sense of community that emerged during a time of great adversity.
