Bristlewoods - Wardens in the Dark
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Charming Caricature from the 1930s Wartime Era by Frank Reynolds This delightful caricature by renowned British artist Frank Reynolds, titled "Bristlewoods see it through," captures the spirit of community and resilience during the darkest hours of the 1939 blackout. The image features a man and woman, Mr. and Mrs. Air-raid Warden Bristlewood, making their rounds during a blackout to ensure that no lights are showing, thus avoiding attracting enemy attention. Mr. Air-raid Warden, with a hat in hand and a somber expression, apologetically interrupts an elderly woman's quiet evening, saying, "Very sorry to disturb you, but..." Mrs. Air-raid Warden, ever the supportive partner, reassures her, "Sorry nothing! He means you're showing too much light." The elderly woman, bundled up in a blanket, cradles her cat protectively as she looks up at the intruders with a mixture of curiosity and resignation. The cat, seemingly unfazed by the disturbance, gazes back at the visitors with a nonchalant expression. Frank Reynolds, a student of Heatherley's School of Art, masterfully captures the essence of the wartime era with his characteristic wit and charm. This illustration is a testament to the bravery and unity of the British people during World War II, as they banded together to ensure the safety of their communities. This caricature, created in 1939, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the 20th century's most tumultuous period. Reynolds' work continues to resonate with audiences today, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and the indomitable human spirit that endured it.
