EDITORS COMMENTS
Keep Smiling!: A Humorous Take on the Collective Wartime Effort, Circa 1916 Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, this charming postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the unwavering spirit and resilience of those who contributed to the war effort both at the front and at home. The image, titled "Keep Smiling! Sheels are piling, Men are joining, Women toiling, All are working, Nothing shirking, So.... Thumbs Up!", captures a humorous moment in the midst of the relentless grind of wartime life. The scene depicts a group of men and women, all dressed in their best attire, working diligently to pile up what appears to be large sacks or 'sheels'. The men, with their backs turned to the viewer, are shown joining in the effort, while the women, in their elegant dresses, are toiling away, their determined expressions a testament to their unwavering commitment. The caption, "Keep Smiling!", adds a lighthearted touch to the image, urging viewers to maintain a positive outlook amidst the challenges of the war. The postcard's message of unity and perseverance in the face of adversity resonated deeply with the people of the time, who were grappling with the realities of war and its impact on their daily lives. The use of humor in the image was a clever way to lift spirits and remind people that, despite the hardships, they were all in this together. This postcard, with its timeless message and charming depiction of wartime life, remains a fascinating glimpse into the spirit of the era and the indomitable human spirit that saw people through one of the most challenging periods in history.
