EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Captivating Wartime Song Cover from the 1930s This evocative and captivating cover art for the song "Nursie! Nursie!" transports us back to the wartime spirit of the 1930s. Created by artists Art Noel and Don Pelosi in 1939, this image is a poignant and glamorous representation of the era's unique blend of music, nursing, and military culture. The cover features a striking image of a nurse in full uniform, her eyes fixed on the horizon as she walks through a park filled with trees. Dressed in a crisp, grey uniform with red cross insignia, she wears a white headdress adorned with a sixpence, a traditional symbol of good luck and protection. The nurse's khaki-clad soldiers follow her, their gazes also drawn to her enchanting presence. The title of the song, "Nursie! Nursie!" is written in bold, black letters at the top of the cover, with the words "Words and Music by Art Noel and Don Pelosi" below. The price of sixpence is displayed prominently at the bottom, a testament to the affordability of this sheet music during the era. The cover's muted color palette of black, grey, and khaki perfectly captures the somber yet hopeful mood of the time. The image of the glamorous nurse, with her alluring appeal and the soldiers' unwavering attention, encapsulates the attraction and appeal that the nursing profession held during wartime. This cover art is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the music, fashion, and cultural trends of the 1930s. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the nurses and soldiers during World War II, and the enduring power of music to transport us to another time and place. Courtesy of Terry Parker / Mary Evans Picture Library, this cover art is a valuable addition to any collection of historical music memorabilia or wartime ephemera. Its timeless beauty and evocative imagery continue to captivate and inspire us today.
