EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard features a captivating portrait of a woman, beautifully rendered by the skilled hand of amateur soldier artist, George Ranstead, during the tumultuous period of World War I, circa 1916. The woman is depicted in a fashionable dress of the Great War era, with its loose, straight style and bandeau in her hair. This illustration serves as a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends of the time, which would later influence the styles of the 1920s. The woman's elegant attire, with its high waistline and full skirt, is a stark contrast to the harsh realities of the war that raged around her. Her confident and poised demeanor exudes an air of sophistication and resilience, reflecting the strength and determination of women during this era. Ranstead's artistic talent is evident in the intricate details of the woman's dress, from the delicate floral pattern to the subtle textures and folds. The postcard's muted color palette adds to the sense of nostalgia and longing, transporting us back in time to a moment of beauty and grace amidst the chaos of war. This postcard is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the essence of a moment in history, and to remind us of the fashionable women who lived through the challenges of the Great War. It is a precious addition to the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, a treasure trove of historical images that continue to inspire and captivate us today.
