EDITORS COMMENTS
This WW2 birthday greetings card, titled "Blackout The Blues," is a charming and symbolic piece of wartime memorabilia. Dating back to the 1940s, this card features imagery believed to bring good fortune during a time of uncertainty and fear. Black cats and horseshoes adorn the front of the card, serving as symbols of luck and protection. During World War II, birthdays were often celebrated in a subdued manner due to the ongoing conflict. However, cards like these provided a ray of light in an otherwise dark time. By blacking out the blues and focusing on positivity, recipients were encouraged to stay cheerful and hopeful even amidst difficult circumstances. The message on this card reminds us that even in times of war, it's important to find moments of joy and celebration. Winning a happy birthday was not just about receiving well wishes from loved ones but also about maintaining optimism in the face of adversity. As part of the March of Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, this WW2 birthday card serves as a poignant reminder of resilience and hope during one of history's darkest periods. It stands as a testament to human spirit and determination in overcoming challenges with grace and positivity.
