EDITORS COMMENTS
A heartwarming and humorous scene from the 1930s, this comic postcard captures the moment a faithful dog takes a moment to say his prayers before bedtime. With a gentle nod to the era's quirky sense of humor, the dog is depicted wearing a pink ribbon around his neck and sitting on a wicker basket, as if humanized and ready for a quiet night's rest. The focus of his devotion is none other than Mr. Belisha, the British Transport Minister who introduced the Belisha Beacons in 1935. These red and white beacons, placed at the corners of pedestrian crossings, were a convenient addition for many dogs, providing them with a clear indication of when it was safe to cross the busy streets. This delightful postcard, with its playful take on the humanization of pets and the everyday convenience of modern technology, is a charming reminder of a bygone era.
