EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary and her Little Lamb: A Whimsical Wartime Scene from the WW2 Era (1945) In this charming comic postcard from the WW2 era, a young girl named Mary tenderly cradles her pet lamb, while her curious little dog looks on with a wistful expression. The scene exudes a sense of innocence and cuteness that seems out of place amidst the ongoing hardships of the post-war world. Despite the fact that the war had ended, rationing continued to be a significant challenge for people in Britain. Meat, in particular, was a scarce commodity, and families had to make arrangements with their local butchers for any leftovers. The little dog in this image seems to understand the reality of the situation, as he is unlikely to get any of the precious meat. On the back of the postcard, a caricature of Sir Winston Churchill, with his signature cigar and stern expression, urges the message "Advance Britannia! Long live the cause of Freedom! God save the King!" This patriotic sentiment was a common theme during the war years and served as a reminder of the sacrifices being made for the greater good. The artist of this delightful postcard is Raphael Tuck, and the image features a young girl named Dinah, who is shown cooking a cutlet in a frying pan. The whimsical style and light-hearted humor of the postcard offer a welcome respite from the harsh realities of wartime life, making it a cherished piece of history that continues to evoke nostalgia and wonder.
