EDITORS COMMENTS
The front cover illustration for the WW2 children's story book, "The Little Doves Of Destruction," is a haunting depiction of wartime innocence and danger. The image, dating back to circa 1941, shows a young girl dressed in a striking red hooded outfit, standing apprehensively behind a stone pillar. In the background, the shadow of a man can be seen approaching down the stairs, adding an element of suspense and foreboding to the scene.
This powerful artwork by George Wolfenden captures the atmosphere of uncertainty and fear that permeated everyday life during World War II. The title itself - "The Little Doves Of Destruction" - hints at the impact of war on innocent lives, particularly children who were caught up in its turmoil.
As we reflect on this poignant image from history, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during this tumultuous period. It serves as a reminder of both the resilience and vulnerability of humanity in times of conflict.
Through art like this print from Mary Evans Prints Online, we are able to connect with the past and gain a deeper understanding of the human experience during one of our most challenging chapters - World War II.
