EDITORS COMMENTS
'You bet I'll defend my island fortress' - A delightful comic postcard from the 20th century featuring a determined young boy proudly standing atop his meticulously crafted sandcastle, waving the Union Jack flag. Dressed in a red swimsuit and armed with a spade, this little patriot has built an impressive sandy stronghold against the backdrop of a serene sea and a playful wave. The boy's mischievous grin and confident pose suggest that he's ready to defend his island fortress from any invaders, adding a touch of humour and fun to this classic seaside scene. Artist Donald McGill, a renowned British comic postcard creator, is known for his humorous and lighthearted depictions of everyday life, particularly at the beach. This charming postcard is a perfect representation of his unique style, capturing the spirit of summer holidays and the innocent joys of childhood. The Union Jack flag, a symbol of British pride and patriotism, adds a nostalgic touch to the image, evoking memories of sunny days spent at the beach with family and friends. The boy's unwavering commitment to defending his sandcastle fortress is a reminder that even the smallest among us can have big dreams and a strong sense of determination.
