EDITORS COMMENTS
During the harsh realities of World War II, the shortage of fuel and petrol became a significant challenge for the people of wartime England. This comic postcard by Evelyn E. Morris captures the spirit of the era, as it humorously depicts alternative forms of transport that people turned to when the petrol pumps ran dry. The image shows a group of men and women, each attempting to make their way through the streets using unconventional methods. A man is seen riding a donkey, while another is pushing a penny-farthing bicycle. A woman in a fashionable hat and heels walks alongside a man pushing a pram, both of them trying to keep up with the pace of the faster modes of transport. The caption reads, "Getting by with alternative transport. Each pennyfarthing counts boys, towards the dollar debt." Despite the hardships, the card maintains a lighthearted tone, emphasizing the importance of carrying on with good humor and resilience. The penny-farthing, an antiquated bicycle with a large front wheel and a small rear wheel, serves as a symbol of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people during this time. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a humorous perspective on the creativity and adaptability of the British people during the austerity of World War II.
