EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming vintage print captures the innocence and magic of Christmas during a time of war. The illustrated WW2 music sheet cover for "I'm Sending A Letter To Santa Claus" by Lanny Rogers and Spencer Williams features a heartwarming scene of a young girl posting her letter to Father Christmas in the snow, with her loyal dog by her side. This image, circa 1939, evokes nostalgia for simpler times when children's wishes were sent off with hope and anticipation.
The song was famously recorded and broadcast by Gracie Fields, whose portrait is seen pictured on the cover. In the midst of World War II, this whimsical depiction reminds us that even in dark times, the spirit of Christmas can bring joy and comfort.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported back to a time when sending letters to Santa was not just a childhood tradition but also an act of faith and belief in better days ahead. The innocence captured in this image serves as a poignant reminder that no matter the circumstances, the magic of Christmas endures.
