Oh! I do like a bit of butter on my bread.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming comic postcard from the WW2 era brings a delightful dose of irony and wartime humor. Circa 1944, this print depicts a young boy, with a mischievous grin on his face, examining a small piece of butter on a table. The weekly butter ration per person during those times was a meager 2 oz or 56 grams. The image, published by Regent, is a caricature by artist Kit Forres or Forres Little, showcasing the innocence and playful spirit of children amidst the hardships of war. The boy's innocent curiosity and the contrast between his desire for butter and the rationing regulations add to the light-hearted and amusing nature of the postcard. This sweet and fun print serves as a reminder of the resilience and humor that people found even in the most challenging times. The image, though simple, captures the essence of the human spirit and the ability to find joy in the smallest things, even during the 2nd World War.
