A Thing of Duty is No Joy Whatever
EDITORS COMMENTS
: WW2-Era Comic Postcard Expressing the Bitter-Sweet Reality of Wartime Duty and Innocence During the tumultuous and trying times of the Second World War, the concept of duty was one of the pillars of morale that was frequently emphasized to the population. This charming, circa 1944, WW2-era comic postcard from the Mary Evans Picture Library titled "A Thing of Duty is No Joy Whatever" captures the essence of this sentiment with a delightful blend of sweetness, fun, and wartime humor. The postcard features a caricatured scene of a young girl, her face flushed with exertion, as she stands by a bucket, washing clothes in the yard. A nearby doll, dressed in a miniature military uniform, observes her with a look of forlorn frustration. The caption above the scene reads, "A Thing of Duty is No Joy Whatever." The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and hardships that were part and parcel of everyday life during the war. The cute and innocent children depicted in the postcard serve to underscore the bittersweet reality of duty, which, while necessary, brought little joy to the population. The postcard's artist, Regent, skillfully employs a light-hearted and humorous touch to the scene, making it all the more endearing and relatable. This delightful piece of WW2 memorabilia is a testament to the resilience and good humor of the people during that era, and a reminder of the importance of finding joy in the midst of duty.
