Still Smiling by George Ranstead
Humorous postcard by George Ranstead, an amateur artist of the Great War who served in the Army Pay Corps. This particular postcard, with the cheeky caption, Still Smiling depicts two sketches of two distinct unsmiling German soldiers. 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
