Dreamin of thee
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A charming WW2-era comic postcard from September 1944, just three months after the momentous D-Day landings. The war still had another 8 months to run, and if her love was a soldier, she might have to hold on to her dreams until peace-time. The Prime Minister's message of resilience and determination echoed through the nation: "We shall never stop, never weary, and never give up." This delightful piece of wartime humor, featuring cute kids, showcases the innocence and lightheartedness that managed to persist even amidst the hardships of war. The caricature of a little girl, sitting on a bench in the sun, daydreaming, adds to the whimsical charm of the postcard. Published by Tuck and Raphael, this charming postcard is a testament to the power of art and humor in keeping spirits high during trying times. The artist, Dinah, masterfully captures the essence of a child's innocent dreams, offering a momentary escape from the realities of war. This postcard, dated 24 September 1944, is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of hope and the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. With its timeless message and delightful imagery, it remains a cherished piece of history from the WW2 era.
