What a War! 'Suits me, I dunno as I'll ever go back to Railings!'
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A humorous comment on the wartime appropriation of railings for use as raw material in the Second World War. In this charming and comical print, we see a group of workmen taking a well-deserved break from their laborious duties. The scene is set against the backdrop of a war-torn landscape, with the ominous silhouette of a bomber plane in the distance, serving as a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict. Despite the gravity of the situation, the workmen seem to be in high spirits, with one of them leaning against a makeshift sign that reads "Railings - Removed for War Use." He quips, "What a War! 'Suits me, I dunno as I'll ever go back to Railings!'" His comrades laugh in agreement, their faces etched with a mix of exhaustion and amusement. The appropriation of railings for use as raw material in the war effort was a common occurrence during WWII. The demand for metal for military production led to the removal of various ironworks from homes and public spaces, much to the chagrin of those who had to live without them. This print captures the spirit of resilience and humor that emerged in the face of adversity, as the workmen find joy in the absurdity of the situation. The print's cartoonish style adds to its charm, with its exaggerated features and playful use of color. The workmen are depicted in a way that is both relatable and endearing, making it a delightful addition to any collection of WWII memorabilia. Overall, "What a War! 'Suits me, I dunno as I'll ever go back to Railings!'" is a lighthearted and humorous commentary on the wartime appropriation of railings and the indomitable spirit of those who lived through it.
