After the War by George Ranstead
Humorous illustration on a postcard by George Ranstead, an amateur artist of the Great War who served in the Army Pay Corps, depicting a line of shabbily dressed men following the scented smoke of a cigar belonging to one happy individual - a comment on the shortages caused by war. 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
