EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts a pretty young woman with abundant long dark hair, drawn by the skilled hand of George Ranstead during the tumultuous year of 1916. Ranstead was an unassuming soldier of the Great War, serving in the Army Pay Corps. In the quiet moments between his duties, he found solace in the art of drawing. Ranstead's body of work is a testament to the human spirit that thrived amidst the chaos and hardships of the war. His subjects ranged from wartime humor to portraits of beautiful girls, all influenced by the popular illustrations of the period. This image of a young woman, with her gentle smile and expressive eyes, is a poignant reminder of the enduring beauty that could be found even in the midst of war. The delicate lines and shading in Ranstead's drawing convey a sense of tenderness and vulnerability, making it a cherished keepsake from a bygone era. This beautiful postcard, a window into the past, invites us to reflect on the resilience of the human spirit and the simple pleasures that can bring comfort and joy, even in the most challenging of times.
