EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming and optimistic WW2 Christmas card from 1939, featuring a cheerful scene of people wearing various types of tin hats or helmets. In the foreground, a policeman in a black and white uniform holds a traffic baton and wears a traditional police helmet adorned with a shiny silver badge. Behind him, a soldier in olive drab uniform and a steel helmet stands at attention. In the background, an Air Raid Warden in an orange helmet and a protective vest is seen checking a map, while a group of firemen in helmets and coats gather around a fire truck. The handwritten message on the card reads, "Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy and peaceful New Year!" This heartwarming image serves as a reminder of the resilient spirit of people during the early years of the Second World War, despite the constant threat of air raids and the harsh realities of wartime life. The intricate design and attention to detail in the illustration showcase the artistic talent and creativity that flourished during this era, making this card a precious piece of ephemera and historical correspondence from the 1940s.
