EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful and humorous cartoon print, we see a group of boys playing at soldiers on a bustling city street during a bygone era. The scene is filled with the innocent joy and camaraderie of childhood, as the urchins, dressed in makeshift uniforms and armed with sticks, form a platoon in the corner. The image, titled "Boys playing at soldiers," is a charming reminder of the imaginative games that children have engaged in throughout history. The boys' serious expressions and exaggerated military poses add to the humor of the situation, as they mimic the disciplined demeanor of real soldiers. The setting, with its busy street scene and passing pedestrians, provides a stark contrast to the boys' playful antics. The print's title, "WW 1," in the upper left corner, suggests that this image may have been created during the early 20th century, a time when the world was on the brink of a major global conflict. The use of sticks as makeshift rifles and the boys' mock recruitment into a platoon may have been influenced by the military recruitment drives that were common during this period. However, the overall tone of the print is lighthearted and humorous, rather than propagandistic. The boys' silly and joyful portrayal of military life serves as a reminder that even in the most serious of times, children find ways to play and imagine. This print is a wonderful addition to any collection of historical or humorous artwork, and its timeless appeal is sure to bring a smile to the faces of viewers young and old. The print's rich history, as part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, adds to its value and intrigue, making it a truly unique and fascinating piece.
