1 Item
Frederick Spurgin, whose name is visible beneath her feet, created the depiction of a girl knitting that adorns the front of this postcard. The caption beneath reads, ‘Whenever you want a change of things, / We girls’ sic will see you have it !’. The printed information on the reverse includes the following details: ‘Art and Humour Publishing Co., Chancery Lane, London, W.C. / A & H “JOLLY KIDDIES” Series. No. 319. British Manufacture.’. The postmark tells us that it was posted on 14 March 1918 in Liverpool. A name, address and message have been written in black ink. Addressed to ‘Master L. Rawsthorn ? / c/o Mr Stephenson / Hall Stableyard / Burton / Nr Lincoln’, the message reads as follows: ‘College Rd / Crosby / My dear Leslie / Thanks very much for your nice letter. Hope your cold is better and that you are having a jolly time. Love from Dorothy’. || A British patriotic postcard || || Postcard || A British patriotic postcard
