EDITORS COMMENTS
Apres la Guerre No. 5" is a humorous postcard drawing by the amateur soldier artist, George Ranstead, depicting the light-hearted reality of demobilization during the Great War. The image, believed to have been created around 1916, shows a father standing in front of a mirror, attempting to put on his civvies or civilian clothes for the first time after four long years of military service. The father's reflection reveals a stark contrast between his military uniform and the shabby, worn-out, and moth-eaten civvies. The suit, once proud and smart, now bears holes and scruffy patches, reflecting the harsh realities of war and the struggle for normalcy in its aftermath. The comic scene offers a humorous take on the challenges faced by soldiers during demobilization, adding a touch of levity to the otherwise somber and transformative period. The father's expression of surprise and disappointment as he tries on his old clothes underscores the stark contrast between military life and civilian life, as well as the emotional and material adjustments required for the transition. Ranstead's "Apres la Guerre No. 5" is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the challenges faced by soldiers during the demobilization process. The drawing offers a glimpse into the everyday experiences of those who lived through the Great War, making it an invaluable historical record and an amusing reflection on the human condition. This postcard is part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, and it is not to be used for commercial purposes.
