EDITORS COMMENTS
I Could Have Swear I Saw a Torpedo: A Humorous Take on WWI Homefront Life This charming and humorous postcard, dated 1916, depicts a young boy in a bath, deep in thought and searching the water intently with a small net. The caption reads, "I could have sworn I saw a torpedo!" The image is a delightful reminder of the unique ways in which people coped with the stresses and uncertainties of life during the First World War. The use of the word "torpedo" in the caption adds a layer of wit and humor to the scene. At the time, torpedoes were a significant weapon in naval warfare, and the thought of one appearing in a bathtub would have been an amusing and unexpected twist. The image also plays on the idea of children's imaginations and their tendency to see things that aren't really there. The postcard's design is reminiscent of early 20th-century cartoons and illustrations. The use of simple lines, bold colors, and a clear, humorous narrative make it a standout piece of WWI ephemera. The image of a child in the bath is also a common theme in art and popular culture of the time, reflecting the importance of family and home life during wartime. Despite the serious and often grim realities of the war, this postcard reminds us that even in the most challenging of times, people found ways to laugh and find joy in the everyday. The image of a young boy searching for a torpedo in his bath is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the human spirit.
