Apres la Guerre No. 3
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a humorous and satirical postcard drawn by George Ranstead during World War I, circa 1916. This charming illustration offers a wry commentary on the impact of rationing and the scarcity of everyday items, such as sugar, during the war. In the image, a man stands in front of a heavily fortified room, his brow furrowed in concentration as he peers intently through a small window. Two policemen, armed and alert, stand guard outside, ensuring the safety of the precious commodity within. The man's expression suggests a mix of excitement and disbelief as he contemplates the rare sight of a lump of sugar, a luxury that had become a scarcity due to the demands of the war. Ranstead's illustration captures the spirit of the times, poking fun at the harsh realities of wartime life. The strong room and the presence of the police men add a touch of the absurd to the situation, highlighting the lengths to which people were willing to go to secure even the most basic of necessities. The comic element of the postcard offers a moment of levity in the face of the hardships endured by soldiers and civilians alike during the war. This postcard is a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those living through the First World War and the unique ways in which people coped with the shortages and rationing that defined their daily lives. Ranstead's "Apres la Guerre No. 3" is a testament to the power of humor and the human spirit to find joy and meaning in even the most trying of circumstances.
