EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard illustration, titled "War Horse" by amateur artist George Ranstead, transports us back to the early years of the First World War. Dated around 1916, the image captures the essence of the noble horse, a symbol of strength and resilience, adorned with a plough harness. At the time, horses were an integral part of daily life, and their use extended to the battlefield as essential transport and draft animals. As the world plunged into war, many of these horses were requisitioned by the British Army to support the military effort. The image of this horse, with its proud and determined gaze, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these animals during the conflict. George Ranstead, an amateur soldier artist, skillfully captured the essence of this noble creature, conveying the deep connection between man and horse. The intricate details of the harness, the texture of the horse's coat, and the depth of emotion in the animal's eyes all contribute to the powerful impact of this illustration. This postcard, a precious relic from the past, offers a glimpse into the world of the First World War and the vital role horses played during this pivotal period in history. The image of the War Horse remains a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by both man and beast during the conflict.
