This enchanting postcard, created by the talented amateur artist, George Ranstead during the tumultuous year of 1916, offers a captivating glimpse into the world of a lady preparing for the day amidst the backdrop of the First World War. The decorative illustration depicts a woman seated at her dressing table, her reflection in the mirror thoughtfully gazing back at her as she delicately powders her nose. The tranquil scene is in stark contrast to the chaos and turmoil of the war outside. Ranstead's masterful brushstrokes bring to life the elegance and beauty of the lady, her graceful posture and refined attire a testament to her inner strength and resilience. The dressing table, adorned with various cosmetics and personal items, adds to the sense of intimacy and privacy, creating a sanctuary from the harsh realities of the war. The mirror, a symbol of self-reflection and introspection, reflects not only the woman's physical appearance but also her inner thoughts and emotions. The intricate details of the illustration, from the delicate folds of her dress to the delicate patterns on the wallpaper, add to the overall charm and allure of the image. Ranstead's artistry serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of beauty and the human spirit, even in the darkest of times. This lovely postcard is a treasured piece of history, offering a glimpse into the daily life of women during the First World War and the extraordinary talent of an amateur soldier artist.
