I'm Missing You Somefing Orful!
EDITORS COMMENTS
- This charming WW2-era comic postcard, dated 1945, captures the essence of wartime humour and the longing felt by those left behind as their loved ones served in the Forces. With only five more months left until the end of the war in Europe and the slow process of demobilisation, this heartfelt message of love and longing was likely a common sentiment during this time. The adorable image on the postcard features a sad, little girl sitting by a fence in the countryside, gazing up at the moon and holding a heart-shaped balloon. Her innocent expression and the playful use of the word "orful" in the caption add a touch of sweetness and lightness to an otherwise heavy situation. The postcard was published by Dundee's Mabel Lucie Attwell, a renowned British artist known for her whimsical and humorous illustrations. Her caricatures of children and their everyday experiences brought joy and amusement to people during the war years, making this postcard a cherished keepsake for those missing their loved ones. The innocence and simplicity of the image, combined with the wartime context, make this postcard a poignant reminder of the human experiences and emotions that were a part of the WW2 era. It serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there was still room for love, humor, and hope.
