It takes all sorts to make a world,
EDITORS COMMENTS
the caption reads, "and I'm glad that you're one of the sorts!" This charming WW2-era comic postcard, dated one month before the war was declared, showcases the sweet and light-hearted humor that was still prevalent in the face of impending global conflict. Published by Valentine & Sons, Dundee, and illustrated by the talented Mabel Lucie Attwell, the postcard features a caricature of a little girl in a yellow dress, playing with a small dog and a doll. The innocence and joy depicted in the image contrast sharply with the looming darkness of the approaching war. Attwell's signature whimsical style adds to the fun and amusing nature of the postcard, making it a delightful reminder of a time when the world was still filled with innocence and laughter, even as the shadows of war began to lengthen. The postcard, which measures approximately 3.5 x 5.5 inches, is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of humor to bring joy and lightness to even the most challenging of times. It is a small but significant piece of history, a snapshot of a moment in time when the world was still filled with hope and optimism, despite the looming threat of war. This postcard is a wonderful addition to any collection of WW2 memorabilia, and is sure to bring a smile to the faces of all who see it. Whether displayed in a frame or used as a greeting card, it is a reminder of the importance of cherishing the simple joys of life, even in the darkest of times.
