Deep in the Heart of Texas
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Charming WW2-Era Comic Postcard During the tumultuous years of the Second World War, as the world was embroiled in conflict, a unique cultural exchange took place between the United States and the United Kingdom. Tens of thousands of Americans traveled across the Atlantic, bringing with them a wave of American culture that became increasingly popular in the UK. This delightful WW2-era comic postcard, titled "Deep in the Heart of Texas," is a playful nod to the enduring spirit of transatlantic camaraderie and the infectious charm of Americana. The postcard, featuring a charming caricature by Raphael Tuck and published by Tuck and Sons, dates back to circa 1944. The image captures the essence of wartime humor, showcasing a little boy, dressed as a cowboy, seated on a rocking horse. The title, "Deep in the Heart of Texas," is a reference to the beloved song penned by Swander and Hershey and first sung by Perry Como shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The playful image of the cowboy child, with his innocent expression and the rocking horse, adds a sweet and lighthearted touch to the postcard, offering a brief respite from the harsh realities of war. This postcard, with its enduring appeal and timeless charm, serves as a poignant reminder of the spirit of unity and friendship that emerged during the darkest days of the 20th century. The image of the cute kid in cowboy attire, rocking on his horse, encapsulates the innocence and joy that transcended borders and brought people together, even in the midst of war.
