Two Black Cats for Good Luck: A Traditional Symbol of Protection and Prosperity During the Great War Date: 1917 This postcard image, featuring two stylized black cats standing side by side, was a popular custom during the First World War era. The cats, dressed in scarves and wearing expressive, almost human-like faces, exude an aura of mystery and good fortune. The use of black cats as symbols of good luck and protection dates back to ancient Egypt and Rome, but their popularity reached new heights during the tumultuous times of the First World War. The two cats, with their piercing eyes and arched backs, seem to be engaged in a quiet conversation, as if sharing a secret. Their sleek, glossy coats and the intricate details of their scarves add to the overall charm and allure of the postcard. The cats' stylish silhouettes, set against a plain background, make them the undeniable focal point of the image. The words "Two Black Cats for Good Luck" are written in elegant script at the bottom of the postcard, emphasizing the traditional significance of the symbol. The cats' association with good fortune and protection offered comfort and hope to soldiers and civilians alike during the challenging times of the war. This postcard, with its intriguing design and powerful symbolism, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the resilience and creativity of the people during the WWI era.
