EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Men on a Street: A Contrast in Wealth and Mood, Circa 1916 This evocative postcard, taken circa 1916, captures a moment of interaction between two men on a bustling city street. The taller, slim man in a well-tailored suit and cravat exudes an air of sophistication and financial stability. His companion, a short, plump man with a cigar clenched between his teeth, appears to be of more humble means. The scene is set against the backdrop of the First World War, with the ominous shadow of conflict looming large. The tall man, identified only as Horace, extends a casual request to the shorter man: "Got such a thing as a spare fiver on you, old chap?" The reply, unprintable in a family-friendly description, reveals the stark contrast in their financial situations. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the economic disparities of the time, as well as the human spirit's ability to cope with adversity. The postcard, part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Collection, is a testament to the rich history of the early 20th century. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of human relationships and the enduring impact of historical events on everyday life.
