EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1940s with this vintage music sheet cover for "The Black-Out Stroll," a popular song from World War II. Illustrated with striking imagery, this piece captures the spirit of wartime London, where blackouts were a common occurrence to protect against air raids.
The words and music for this catchy tune were penned by Tommie Connor, while it was introduced by the renowned bandleader Joe Loss. In fact, Loss himself can be seen in the portrait photograph featured on the cover, adding an extra layer of authenticity to this historical artifact.
As you gaze at this piece from the March of the Women Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, you can almost hear the lively melody playing in your mind. The nostalgia of a bygone era is palpable as you imagine people dancing through darkened streets during blackout drills.
This artwork is not just a simple music sheet cover – it's a window into a pivotal moment in history. It serves as a reminder of resilience and camaraderie during challenging times, making it a valuable addition to any collection of WWII memorabilia.
