A A Nash, the artist whose name appears to the right of the armchair that he has depicted, created this image of a small slumbering girl. She is clearly dreaming of the British officer whose ghostly figure appears to be looking down at her. The scene is entitled ‘EVER DREAMING OF OUR ABSENT ONES!’, the French translation below reading: ‘Révant toujours au cher absent.’. The printed information on the reverse states, ‘Inter-Art Co., Red Lion Square, London, W.C. / “ELEVEN-O-FOUR” Series. No. 1104. / British Manufacture Throughout.’. || A British sentimental postcard || || A British sentimental postcard || Postcard

A British sentimental postcard || A verse has been printed in the top left-hand corner of this postcard. Headed ‘Thoughts of Daddy.’, it reads: ‘I think of you dear Daddy / Through all the long, long days, / And for your quick & safe return / Your little Girlie prays.’. Inset to the right is a head-and-shoulders portrait of an absorbed-looking British soldier. In the main scene below, the soldier’s wife sits by a table on which stands a photograph. She holds her mending in her hands, but is staring into space, towards the soldier’s photograph. Their daughter sits on the floor, apparently reading to the doll that she is cradling. The printed information on the reverse includes: ‘All British Production / Series no 704-2’. || || Front || A British sentimental postcard || Postcard
