EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, titled "Hero Worship" by renowned British illustrator Lawson Wood, offers a poignant glimpse into the home front during the early years of the 20th century. The image portrays a devoted housewife, her face beaming with pride and admiration, as she attends to her portly husband, a soldier recently returned from military service. The husband, bursting out of his uniform, takes a well-deserved rest after a long day, savoring the comforts of home and the tender care of his loving wife. The scene is set in a cozy, middle-class home, with the wife's attire and the husband's military uniform adding to the historical context. The husband's uniform, complete with brass buttons and intricate seams, is a testament to his service and sacrifice. The wife, with her apron and rosy cheeks, embodies the traditional role of the devoted wife and homemaker. The postcard, created in the early 1900s, reflects the deep appreciation and adoration that society held for soldiers during times of war. The image also highlights the contrast between the harsh realities of military life and the comforts and love of home. The husband's stout figure and the wife's doting demeanor further emphasize the bond between the couple and the importance of their connection in the face of adversity. The intricate wood-engraving technique used by Lawson Wood adds depth and texture to the image, making it a beautiful and timeless piece of historical art. This postcard is a must-have for collectors of military history, social history, and vintage illustrations.
