EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard features a portrait of a fashionable woman, expertly drawn by the amateur soldier artist, George Ranstead, during the turbulent times of the First World War. Dated around 1916, Ranstead's illustration showcases a world far removed from the horrors of the battlefield. The woman is depicted in an elegant evening dress, her posture exuding confidence and sophistication. Her hair is adorned with a bandeau and an aigrette, adding an air of glamour and allure.

His work offers a unique insight into the fashion trends and societal norms of the time, providing a visual record of an era marked by change and upheaval. The woman in this portrait embodies the spirit of the Roaring Twenties, which was still a few years away, but the influence of the era's fashion can be seen in her attire. Her dress, with its flowing lines and intricate detailing, is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Ranstead. The postcard, a cherished piece of history, invites us to imagine the story behind the woman's enigmatic smile and the occasion that led her to be captured in this timeless image.
