EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment during World War II, as illustrated on the music sheet cover for "When Can I Have A Banana Again." The image depicts a group of children eagerly speaking with a police officer who is standing by bunches of Fyffes branded bananas. It is clear that these children are longing for the simple pleasure of enjoying this tropical fruit, which was scarce during wartime rationing.
The artwork, created by Nat Mills, Gaby Rogers, and Harry Roy circa 1943, serves as a reminder of the hardships faced by civilians during the war. The innocence and longing in the children's eyes juxtaposed with the presence of authority figures and limited resources paint a vivid picture of life on the home front.
As we reflect on this historical moment captured in time, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by so many during WWII. The image not only showcases artistic talent but also serves as a powerful symbol of resilience and hope amidst adversity. This print from Mary Evans Prints Online is truly a treasure that allows us to connect with our past and honor those who lived through such challenging times.
