Title: "The Jealous Puppy" - A Humorous WWI Postcard from the 1910s This charming comic postcard, dated circa 1918, depicts a mischievous and jealous puppy peering over a soldier's shoulder as he writes a letter home. The image, titled "The Jealous Puppy," is a delightful representation of the lighter side of life during the First World War. The British postcard, published by Donald McGill, is a testament to the power of humor and communication during a time of great hardship and separation. Soldiers on the front lines would often send letters and postcards to their loved ones back home, providing a much-needed connection between them. This postcard, with its humorous take on a common wartime scene, would have brought a smile to the faces of both the sender and the recipient. The puppy's suspicious gaze and the soldier's focused expression create a sense of contrast and tension, adding to the overall fun and playful nature of the postcard. The muted colors and simple illustration style are typical of the era, reflecting the aesthetic of the time. This postcard is a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to find joy and humor even in the most challenging of circumstances. It also serves as a reminder of the important role that communication played in maintaining morale during the First World War.
