EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic print titled "England expects etc - house maid kissing a sailor" captures the essence of a bygone era. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 20th century, this colour litho is now part of a private collection. The image showcases a heartwarming moment between a housemaid and a sailor, both dressed in their distinctive uniforms. The famous words "England expects etc" are prominently displayed on the postcard, reminding us of the duty and sacrifice that these individuals embodied during World War I. In this snapshot from history, we witness the tender affection shared between two people amidst the chaos of war. The servant's kiss symbolizes not only her admiration for our boys at sea but also represents the support and love shown by countless others back home. HMS Neptune, one of Britain's naval vessels during WWI, serves as an emblematic backdrop to this scene. This postcard undoubtedly served as a reminder to those serving abroad that they were cherished and missed. As we gaze upon this evocative artwork, we are transported back in time to an era where patriotism ran deep and unity prevailed even in times of great adversity. It is through images like these that we can appreciate the resilience and strength exhibited by generations past.
