Balloon Barrage Bottle Correspondence Ephemera Goose Hillside Holly Poultry Pudding Snowing Snowy Wine Delivery
EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful WW2 Christmas scene featuring a barrage balloon drifting over a snow-covered hillside, as a jovial deliveryman in a thick winter coat and hat makes his way up the hill with a basket full of holiday treats. The basket is laden with a plump goose, a bottle of wine, a steaming pudding, and other festive delicacies. The contrast between the military technology of the barrage balloon and the traditional Christmas symbols of goose, pudding, and wine adds a unique touch of humor to this wartime scene. The snowflakes gently falling around the balloon and the deliveryman create a picturesque and idyllic atmosphere, despite the backdrop of the ongoing conflict. This charming WW2 Christmas card, circa 1942, is a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of people to celebrate the holiday season even in the most challenging of circumstances.
