EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a time in the heart of the 1940s, during the tumultuous era of the Second World War, an extraordinary tale unfolded in the quaint countryside. In this illustration from "The Blue-Eyed Cat," a children's book, we encounter Daisy the cow, an unlikely heroine. Circa 1945, as the world was embroiled in the global conflict, Daisy defied the odds and took the reins of a mighty tank, her blue eyes reflecting determination and courage. The serene countryside, dotted with rolling hills and verdant fields, serves as the backdrop for this remarkable scene. The sun casts a warm glow over the landscape, creating a stark contrast with the imposing presence of the tank. Daisy, dressed in a red bandana and a pair of goggles, sits confidently atop the tank's turret, her tail swishing gently in the breeze. The men and women of the village, clad in wartime attire, gather around to watch in awe as Daisy skillfully maneuvers the tank across the terrain. Their faces are a mix of astonishment, excitement, and pride, as they bear witness to this extraordinary feat. This enchanting image, a part of the Melville Colley Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a delightful and whimsical take on the events of the war. It reminds us that even in the most challenging of times, the human spirit, and the spirit of the animal kingdom, can find ways to surprise and inspire us.
