'Zeppelins be blowed.'
A British patriotic postcard
The name of the artist who depicted this night-time scene showing a small girl and boy embracing on a bench can be seen in the bottom right-hand corner of the postcard: ‘Flora White’. The caption beneath the bench reads, ‘“Zepp’lins be blowed.”’. The postmark on the reverse states ‘SHEFFIELD / 7.45PM / 29 AUG 16’. A name and address have been written in a pencilled hand: ‘Miss Nora Kelly / Hyde / 11 Manchester Rd’. There is also a message, but it is sadly too faintly inscribed to be able to read it. The printed information states ‘CELESQUE SERIES Copyright Design No. 1170. / Published by The Photochrom Co Ltd London and Tunbridge Wells.’.
