EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the somber backdrop of World War II, a moment of lightheartedness and mischief unfolds in this comic postcard image. In the dimly lit streets, a woman in a red dress and high heels playfully leans towards a policeman, her torch casting a warm light on their faces. The policeman, dressed in his official uniform, seems both surprised and amused as he turns to look at her. The caption above reads, "How to identify the man who kissed her in the blackout!" This saucy and cheeky postcard, produced circa 1940s, offers a glimpse into the humorous side of wartime life in Britain. The image is reminiscent of the works of Donald McGill, a popular British postcard artist known for his saucy and humorous designs. The contrast between the seriousness of the war and the lightheartedness of this moment adds an intriguing layer to the image, making it a fun and collectible piece from the 1940s.
