First World War - Blackout cartoon postcard
Hoping to see more of you - mindful of the blackout enforced in London during World War one, this couple look forward to getting a better view of each other when their paths next cross! A limited version of the total blackout experienced during World War Two had been introduced in 1915 during the First World War, when German Zeppelins began to drop bombs on their enemy. But then the lights were subdued or dimmed rather than dowsed, and only when a Zeppelin was known to be en route. Date: circa 1915

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of hope and anticipation amidst the darkness of war. Taken during the First World War, it depicts a couple standing on a dimly lit London street, their faces illuminated by the beam of a small torch. The blackout enforced in the city due to German Zeppelin bombings had made it difficult for people to see each other clearly at night, but this couple eagerly awaits their next encounter when they can finally get a better view of one another. The image symbolizes both the challenges and resilience faced by civilians during wartime. Despite the dangers lurking in the shadows, love prevails as this couple finds solace in each other's company. The limited version of blackout experienced during World War One is evident here - with only subdued lights instead of complete darkness. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded that even in times of turmoil and uncertainty, human connection remains essential. It serves as an enduring testament to the power of love and light amidst dark times.
