EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming WW2 greetings card from the 1940s is a delightful reminder of the era's sense of camaraderie and good wishes. The illustration features a Scottish terrier dressed in a traditional kilt uniform, sharing a drink with a British Royal Navy sailor dog. The message on the card reads "This is no careless talk - it's a sincere wish for your good health!"
During World War II, communication was heavily monitored to prevent sensitive information from falling into enemy hands. The phrase "Careless Talk Costs Lives" was commonly used to remind people to be cautious about what they said in public spaces. This card takes that sentiment and turns it into a heartfelt wish for wellness and happiness.
The image captures the spirit of unity and friendship that prevailed during wartime, as different branches of the military came together to fight for their countries' freedom. It serves as a touching memento of an era marked by sacrifice, resilience, and solidarity.
The March of the Women Collection has preserved this piece of history through their print reproduction, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It serves as a poignant reminder of the power of goodwill and connection in times of adversity.
