EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical WW2 birthday card from the 1940s features a charming illustration of a long queue of bees, each holding their ration books and eagerly waiting to collect their portion of honey. The caption reads, "Even if a queue were a mile long, I'd join it to wish you a happy birthday!" During World War II, resources were scarce and rationing was in place to ensure that everyone had access to essential goods. This unique birthday greeting card reflects the spirit of camaraderie and perseverance during wartime, as even the bees are willing to wait patiently for their sweet treat. The intricate details in this illustrated card capture the imagination and transport us back in time to an era where every small gesture of kindness meant so much more. It serves as a reminder that even in difficult times, there is always room for celebration and joy. The March of the Women Collection has curated this delightful piece of wartime giftware, offering us a glimpse into history through artful storytelling. Let this charming image bring smiles and warmth to your loved ones on their special day, just like those busy bees lining up for their birthday surprise.
