EDITORS COMMENTS
is a humorous postcard by renowned British illustrator Lawson Wood, depicting a young boy in a wind-swept seaport environment, eagerly trying to catch the attention of a submarine captain. With a determined look on his face and a shout that carries the salty sea air, the young lad calls out, "I, Jellicoe, if you're going down again, you might have a look for my knife, will you?" The boy's request is accompanied by a gesture towards the railing, as he points to the submarine, showcasing his unique sense of humor and the playful camaraderie between the young and the naval crew. The scene is filled with a sense of historical authenticity, as sailors and lads go about their daily tasks on the pier, while the boy's silly request adds an amusing touch to the otherwise serious naval atmosphere. The intricate details in the illustration, such as the boy's worn-out fisherman's jumper, the creases on the captain's uniform, and the ripples on the water, bring the scene to life and transport the viewer to the heart of a bustling British naval port. The use of bold colors and expressive brushstrokes adds to the overall charm and appeal of the postcard, making it a delightful addition to any collection of maritime-themed memorabilia. As the boy's shout carries across the water, one can't help but smile at the silly request and the lighthearted banter between the young lad and the submarine crew. Wood's illustration captures the essence of the British naval spirit, blending history, humor, and the raw energy of the sea into a single, captivating image.
