EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative World War One postcard, featuring a dashing naval officer extending a deckchair invitation to a young lady, exudes an air of chivalry and patriotic spirit. The scene, drawn by amateur soldier artist George Ranstead during his service in the Army Pay Corps, transports us back to a time of romance amidst the backdrop of war. The couple's attire, with the officer in full naval uniform and the lady wearing a complementary sailor dress, further emphasizes the connection between the military and home front. The Union Jack cushion and the bulldog standing by add to the patriotic flavour of the image, symbolizing British pride and courage. This postcard, one of a series created by Ranstead, offers a glimpse into the courtship rituals and the spirit of the era. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where chivalry and patriotism intertwined, and serves as a poignant reminder of the history and values of the 1st World War.
