EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming WW2 era comic postcard, dated 1945, features a caricature of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill on the front, with the caption "I'll knot forget" and the famous Churchillian message "There is still a lot to do" written on the back. The light-hearted humor of the postcard is further emphasized by the sender's message on the bottom left, "I don't have to tie a knot in my hankie to remember you." The image on the front of the postcard showcases a caricature of Churchill, dressed in his iconic suit and hat, attempting to tie a knot in a handkerchief. Behind him, a small and innocent-looking girl, named Dinah, playfully holds a knotted handkerchief in her hand and gazes up at the puppy, Rufus, who is sitting obediently at her feet. The scene exudes a sense of warmth and nostalgia, reflecting the innocence and resilience of children during the wartime era. The postcard was published by Raphael Tuck & Sons, a renowned British publishing company known for their high-quality prints and postcards. The artist responsible for this particular design remains unknown, but their work captures the spirit of the time, blending humor and whimsy with the seriousness of the war effort. The image of Churchill, the playful girl, and the faithful puppy, serves as a reminder that even in the midst of adversity, there was still room for joy and levity. This postcard is a testament to the enduring power of humor and the importance of cherishing the memories of loved ones, even during the most challenging of times.
