EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the 1940s, as the Second World War raged on, a moment of pure, unadulterated fun and surprise unfolded on the streets of Scotland. In this delightful comic postcard, a jovial sailor from the Royal Navy, clad in his smart uniform, is seen planting a kiss on the first thing he encounters in a skirt – a dashing Scotsman, proudly donning his traditional tartan kilt and sporran. The sailor's expression is one of sheer shock and amazement, as if he had stumbled upon an unexpected twist of fate. The Scotsman, on the other hand, seems amused by the situation, with a knowing smile playing on his lips. The contrast between the formal naval uniform and the Scottish tartan adds an extra layer of humor to the scene. This humorous postcard, produced by the renowned Canadian publisher, Donald McGill, captures the spirit of the 1940s – a time when people found joy and laughter in the midst of adversity. The image of the sailor and the Scotsman, with their unexpected encounter, serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always room for a little fun and surprise. The postcard, with its charming illustration and light-hearted humor, is a testament to the enduring power of laughter and the human spirit. It is a snapshot of a bygone era, a moment frozen in time, and a reminder of the simple pleasures that can bring a smile to our faces, no matter the circumstances.
