'What is home without a daddy?'
1 Item
There are two photographic elements to this postcard. In the vignette at the top, contained within a hazy bubble, we see a line of mounted British cavalry soldiers proceeding down a road. In the scene below, a mother and her two daughters are depicted in their living room, looking dejected and even despairing. A doll can be seen propped up on the table behind them. The legend below reads, ‘WHAT IS A HOME WITHOUT A DADDY?’. A message has been written in blue ink on the reverse: ‘This is from our little boy to his Daddy over the Seas. Good by sic x x’. The printed details state: ‘BAMFORTH & CO., LTD., PUBLISHERS HOLMFIRTH (ENGLAND) AND NEW YORK. / “PATRIOT” SERIES. NO. 1038. PRINTED IN ENGLAND.’. || A British sentimental postcard || || Postcard || A British sentimental postcard
