EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and humorous hand-drawn postcard, created in 1918 by amateur soldier artist George Ranstead, captures a light-hearted moment of everyday life during the Great War. The image depicts a pavement artist, likely trying to make ends meet amidst the economic and food shortages brought about by the war, as he pleads with a woman to keep her cat indoors. The mischievous feline, with a playful expression on its face, is seen licking the artist's intricately drawn pictures of fish off the ground, a cheeky reference to the rationing that was in effect during this time. Ranstead's illustration masterfully conveys the sense of humor and resilience that people found in the most unexpected places, even amidst the hardships of war. The artist's use of simple yet expressive lines and warm colors adds to the whimsical and endearing quality of the postcard. This amusing postcard is a poignant reminder of the human spirit that prevailed during the challenging times of World War I, and serves as a delightful glimpse into the past. George Ranstead's work, though created by an amateur artist, showcases the power of art to bring joy and laughter, even in the most trying of circumstances.
