Lady and Mirror by George Ranstead
A rather arrogant lady, wearing a fashionable ensemble, gazing at her reflection in a large oval mirror, except, spookily, no reflection appears to be forthcoming. Postcard hand drawn by George Ranstead, an amateur soldier artist of the Great War who served in the Army Pay Corps. 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
