EDITORS COMMENTS
In this WW1 era comic postcard from circa 1916, a young boy, with a look of determination and perhaps a hint of mischief in his eyes, leans in for a kiss towards a girl sitting in a donkey cart. The girl, seemingly surprised and slightly taken aback by the sudden advance, replies with a witty and slightly devastating retort, "I can drive one donkey but not two!" The donkey, sensing the tension in the moment, looks on with a scared expression, its ears flattened against its head. The boy's donkey, tethered nearby, also appears uneasy, its eyes wide with fear. The girl's comment, while playful, may have been a put-down intended to keep the boy at arm's length, or it could have been a sign of her confidence and control in her ability to manage her own transportation. The moment is filled with a mix of emotions - shock, discomfort, and even a hint of romance. The boy's attempt at taking advantage of the situation has been thwarted, leaving him momentarily taken aback. The scene is a snapshot of the unexpected twists and turns that love and life can bring, even in the midst of wartime and the challenges of everyday life. The image is a reminder of the simple pleasures and moments of levity that people found amidst the hardships of the WW1 era.
