Sew What?
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A WW2 Era Comic Postcard of Innocent Humor and Make-Do-Mend Mentality (Circa 1944) During the tumultuous era of World War II, everyday life was filled with challenges and adaptations. Rationing became a way of life, and this charming comic postcard titled "Sew What?" captures the wartime spirit with its sweet, fun, and amusing depiction of children making the most of their limited resources. The postcard, published by Raphael Tuck and Co. and featuring the artwork of Dinah Little, showcases two cute kids – a little girl and a little boy – engaged in a playful sewing session. The girl, with a determined look on her face, is mending a hole in her trousers, while the boy, with a mischievous grin, is trying to steal one of her precious buttons. The caption above them reads, "Sew What?" – a playful question that encapsulates the make-do-mend mentality of the time. The wartime slogan, "Make do and Mend," is a testament to the resourcefulness and creativity of people during this period. Clothing could only be purchased if one had enough Points to do so, and the Points were rationed. This postcard, with its cute and innocent portrayal of children, serves as a light-hearted reminder of the challenges and adaptations that defined the WW2 era. This piece of history, from Mary Evans Picture Library, is a delightful glimpse into the past and a reminder of the resilience and humor that carried people through even the most difficult of times.
