EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures a powerful piece of WW1 propaganda. Titled "Special constables in WW1 propaganda postcard" this colour lithograph by the English School from the 19th century is an intriguing addition to any collection. The image portrays six ordinary men, depicted as cartoon characters, diligently working as special constables during World War I. Dressed in their distinctive hats and uniforms adorned with flags and union symbols, they stand proudly on a pavement next to a lampost. The satirical drawing cleverly conveys the message that every citizen has a role to play in supporting their country during times of war. The artist's use of caricature adds depth to this scathing satire, highlighting the absurdity of relying solely on professional law enforcement officers when there is an urgent need for public assistance. Through its bold colors and attention-grabbing composition, this postcard effectively communicates the importance of unity and collective effort. With its historical significance and artistic brilliance, this print serves as both a reminder of the sacrifices made during WW1 and an example of how art can be used as a tool for propaganda. A must-have for collectors interested in wartime memorabilia or those fascinated by political cartoons from that era, it offers valuable insights into British society at that time while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship.
