Another Air Raid - Many Casualties...!
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Mother's Unwavering Vigilance in the 1910s Homefront In this poignant and humorous turn-of-the-century image, a mother diligently searches for head lice in her young son's ginger hair. The scene unfolds in the intimate setting of their home, where the simple act of combing out nits takes on new significance amidst the backdrop of an air raid. The mother, seated on a rickety chair, focuses intently on her task, her expression a mix of determination and concern. Her son, a boy with a mop of curly hair, looks up at her with a furrowed brow and a pained expression, clearly finding the experience singularly unpleasant. The scene is reminiscent of wartime images of mothers tending to their children's needs, with a sense of resilience and fortitude that belies the hardships of the era. The presence of the large comb and the combing brush on the table adds to the sense of routine and ritual, as the mother meticulously checks each strand of hair for signs of the unwelcome intruders. The comic element of the image comes from the juxtaposition of the seriousness of the mother's task with the boy's obvious discomfort and the lighthearted caption, "Another Air Raid - Many Casualties...!" which plays on the common idiom of an "air raid" being a sudden and unexpected attack, in this case, an attack on the boy's head by the unwelcome guests known as head lice. This postcard, with its charming illustration and poignant commentary, offers a glimpse into the daily life of families during the 1910s, a time of great change and upheaval, and the unwavering love and care of a mother for her child, even in the most mundane and unpleasant of circumstances.
