EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming comic postcard from the WW2 era captures the light-hearted and innocent spirit of the time, as the end of the war brought anticipation and excitement for the return of soldiers. The image features a sweet little girl, with rosy cheeks and open arms, warmly welcoming a soldier boy, who is shown as a caricatured soldier with a comically oversized rifle and a mischievous grin. The playful caption adds to the amusing and humorous tone, reflecting the sense of fun and relief that came with the approaching peace. Published by Valentine & Sons, Dundee, this postcard was created by the renowned British artist Mabel Lucie Attwell, who was known for her popular and endearing illustrations of children. The image captures the innocence and joy of childhood, as well as the hope and anticipation of the post-war era. The WW2 comic postcard is a delightful reminder of the lighter side of history, and a testament to the resilience and optimism of the human spirit. Circa 1945, this postcard is a cherished piece of wartime humor that continues to evoke feelings of nostalgia and warmth, making it a must-have for history buffs, collectors, and anyone who appreciates the charm of bygone eras.
