Hetalia was far from the first cute anthropomorphising of nations…here we have gallant little Britan protecting poor vulnerable France from a plump cheeked and adorable Germany.
Don’t know where to begin with this one…I can’t get past France as a clingy, weeping little girl being protected by a little Tommy. I can just imagine how delighted the French were at way they were personified here…suspect this one was not exactly for a Gaulish audience. It was sent in 1914, but by one of my friend’s Norwegian ancestors so I can’t make out the message on the back, which is a pity.
