EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an intricately designed plate from the Bairnsfather War series, a popular collectible from the First World War era. The plate, inscribed with the phrase "Give it a good ard un Bert," is a testament to the unique humor and camaraderie that emerged among soldiers during the conflict. Bairnsfather Ware, named after the renowned British satirical cartoonist, Bruce Bairnsfather, gained immense popularity during WWI. The plates, produced between 1915 and 1919, were created by the Royal Doulton Company in England. This specific plate features a humorous scene of soldiers in the trenches, with one soldier about to throw a grenade, as the others prepare for the explosion with the inscription urging them to give it a good hard throw. The plate is in good condition, with no significant cracks or chips, and the inscription remains clear and legible. The intricate details on the plate are evident, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of the Royal Doulton Company. The plate's edges are slightly worn, adding to its historical character. The phrase "You can generally ear 'em fizzing a bit first if they are agoin to explode" suggests the anticipation and danger soldiers faced during the war. The image on the plate is a reminder of the harsh realities of trench warfare and the dark humor that emerged from the soldiers' experiences. This historical artifact is a must-have for collectors of military history, WWI memorabilia, and those interested in the social history of the era. The plate's unique design and inscription make it a fascinating conversation piece and a valuable addition to any collection.
