Apres La Guerre by George Ranstead
Humorous postcard from the WWI era by George Ranstead, an amateur artist who served in the Army Pay Corps. A soldier finally arrives back from the Front to discover that the baby born in his absence is now a grown, and very mature woman (at least I think that's the joke!). Ranstead was one of many soldiers of WWI who took up drawing as a hobby. His subjects range from wartime humour to pictures of pretty girls and are clearly influenced by images in the illustrated magazines of the period
