Oh Lord, Take Care of Kitchener. . . but The Daily Mail
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of traditional media during the Great War. In this postcard from the early 20th century, we see a young boy kneeling in prayer beside his bed, with a copy of The Daily Mail newspaper prominently placed on top. This image symbolizes the power and influence that journalism held during times of conflict. The boy's innocent plea for divine protection for Lord Kitchener, who was then Secretary of State for War, reflects the widespread concern and anxiety felt by the British public during World War I. As he prays earnestly, it is evident that he believes in both God's intervention and the role played by newspapers like The Daily Mail in shaping public opinion. The composition beautifully highlights various elements such as furniture, bedding, and shoes to create an authentic representation of England at that time. It also serves as a reminder of how children were affected by war; their hopes and fears intricately woven into daily life. This print not only provides historical context but also invites us to reflect on our own relationship with media today. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, faith can provide solace while news outlets play a crucial role in shaping our understanding of events around us.
