'Look on the bright side.'

A British patriotic/sentimental postcard
Artist Frederick Spurgin created the scene depicted on this postcard (his name can be seen in the bottom left-hand corner). He has portrayed a girl looking through a huge telescope at the night sky, as a boy, perched on an adjacent wall, points up at stars that spell out ‘PEACE’, ‘PEACE’. The caption below reads, ‘Look on the bright side. / And peace won’t seem so far away’. The printed details on the back include ‘“Art and Humour” Publishing Co., 27, Chancery Lane, London, W.C. / The “A & H” “HOPEFUL” Series. No. 114. British Manufacture.’. ‘Inland Postage 1/2 d. / Foreign postage 1d.’ has been typeset within the stamp box.
