EDITORS COMMENTS
Whose making the Brave New World - let's see - Whose making the Brave New World? You-and-Me! This playful question posed on this charming WW2-era comic postcard is a witty reference to Aldous Huxley's dystopian novel, Brave New World. The image carries a cancellation commemorating 30 years of National Savings, adding a touch of nostalgia to this light-hearted piece. The postcard's design is filled with sweet and fun WW2-inspired humor. Two cute kids, wide-eyed with surprise, are depicted in the foreground, their innocent expressions contrasting starkly with the thought-provoking question above. The little girl, with her bright blue eyes and pigtails, clutches a toy soldier, while her brother, with a mischievous grin, points to a caricatured image of a startled man in uniform in the background. The man, with a shocked expression, appears to be holding a large, ominous-looking machine, reminiscent of the machinery depicted in Brave New World. Published in 1946, this postcard was created by the talented Mabel Lucie Attwell, a well-known British artist of the time. The whimsical illustration, with its clever use of humor and reference to Huxley's novel, serves as a reminder of the resilience and optimism of the human spirit, even in the midst of war.
