EDITORS COMMENTS
Engaged: A Delightful Dose of WW2 Wartime Humor from the Brush of Dinah, the Clever Caricaturist (circa 1944) Step back in time to the heart of the 1940s, an era of resilience, determination, and a touch of whimsy. This charming comic postcard, titled "Engaged," is a delightful testament to the lighter side of life during the tumultuous World War II. The artist, Dinah, was known for her clever use of wordplay and her ability to capture the innocence and charm of children in her work. In this particular piece, we see a young boy and girl, both dressed in typical wartime attire, standing next to each other, their eyes fixed on a black telephone. The boy, with a mischievous grin, is saying, "I'll call you up when the war's over," while the girl, with a coy smile, replies, "But darling, I'll be engaged!" The playful banter between the two children is a reminder that even in the midst of war, love and humor could still flourish. This postcard, published by Raphael Tuck & Sons, is a sweet and amusing glimpse into the past. Dinah's skillful use of caricature and her ability to capture the innocence of childhood make this a must-have for any collection of WW2 memorabilia or for those who appreciate the lighter side of history. So, take a moment to enjoy this delightful piece of art and let the charm of Dinah's work transport you back to a time when love and laughter were just as important as the fight for freedom.
