EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming WW2-era comic postcard, published in 1945 by Raphael Tuck and Sons, captures the spirit of wartime humor and the innocence of childhood. The image depicts a little girl named Dinah, dressed in her best outfit, admiring herself in the mirror. The caption reads, "Swell! One new outfit a year from June 1941, ration book supposedly sufficient." The date and the reference to rationing underscore the austerity of the times, as clothes were rationed from June 1941 due to the war effort. Despite the hardships, the artist has managed to infuse the scene with a light-hearted and amusing touch. The little girl's expression of delight and pride in her new outfit contrasts with the modest and practical nature of the clothing. The presence of a dog peeking in from the side, watching the scene with a curious expression, adds to the whimsical and playful atmosphere. The use of caricature and exaggerated features further enhances the humorous tone of the postcard. The artist's skillful rendering of the girl's rosy cheeks, expressive eyes, and bouncy curls imbues the image with a sense of warmth and charm. Overall, this delightful postcard offers a glimpse into the wartime experience, reminding us of the resilience and humor of the people during that challenging period.
