EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from the pages of a children's book published circa 1945, titled "The Blue-Eyed Cat." In this illustration, Admiral Drake, a distinguished naval officer with a twinkle in his eye and a blue-eyed cat as his loyal companion, leads a gallant navy of young chicks dressed in sailor uniforms. The scene is reminiscent of the wartime spirit during the 2nd World War, with the chicks eagerly following their fearless leader, ready to embark on their own daring adventures. Admiral Drake, with his stern yet kind demeanor, embodies the courage and determination that defined the naval forces during WWII. The chicks, dressed in their sailor uniforms, mirror the courage and resilience of the young boys and girls who served in the military during this time. The blue-eyed cat, a constant presence by Admiral Drake's side, adds a touch of whimsy and lightheartedness to the scene. This illustration, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective on the wartime era, highlighting the bravery and determination of those who served, no matter their age or size. The image serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit that carried the world through the challenges of WWII and continues to inspire us today.
