EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from July 1944, we are transported back to the harrowing days of World War II in London. Despite the constant threat of flying bomb raids, thousands of brave children can still be seen fearlessly frequenting the streets. Among them is Mickey, a loyal and courageous shelter mascot dog, accompanied by his adorable pals. Mickey stands tall with his furry friends as they gaze up at the sky, their eyes searching for any signs of danger - the dreaded "Doodle bugs". Equipped with a miniature gas mask, steel helmet, and even tiny glasses for enhanced vision, Mickey has taken on the vital role of spotting these deadly bombs before they strike. This heartwarming image captures not only the resilience and determination of London's children but also showcases the unwavering bond between humans and animals during times of adversity. The innocence and joy radiating from these childhood companions remind us that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, there is always room for playfulness and fun. As we reflect upon this poignant moment frozen in time by Bunting's lens, let us remember those who lived through such challenging circumstances during World War II. Their courage serves as an inspiration to generations past and present alike.
