EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and whimsical WW2 birthday card print from the March of the Women Collection captures a unique glimpse into wartime life. The series of illustrations feature a line of dogs dressed as General Post Office workers, diligently delivering mail amidst the chaos of World War II. The front cover illustration offers a cheeky reference to the censorship of correspondence during this tumultuous time, wishing the receiver a "Blue Pencil happy birthday."
The playful yet poignant imagery serves as a reminder of the resilience and creativity displayed by individuals during times of hardship. Each dog in uniform represents not only the dedication and hard work of postal workers during WWII but also symbolizes loyalty, duty, and companionship - qualities that were essential for survival during such challenging times.
As we reflect on this historical artifact from the 1940s, we are reminded of the power of small gestures and acts of kindness in bringing joy and connection to those separated by war. This print is not just a piece of artwork; it is a testament to human ingenuity, humor, and perseverance in even the darkest moments.
