Disguising a German Shop - Start of WWI
Postcard sent within six weeks of the start of WWI, depicting a German Shopkeeper in Britain hastily changing the livery of his store to something perfectly British! The pseudo-germanic English signs and the shopkeepr's appearance revel his true identity. A superb comment on the Germanophobia which swept Britain at the start of WWI
