The Perplexed Little Girl and the Captive Flea
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful and humorous comic postcard from the 20th century, a young girl is depicted with a puzzled expression as she holds a flea in the palm of her hand. The scene takes place in a cozy, British home, with a plush rug beneath her feet and a fireplace in the background. The girl, dressed in a simple dress and with a ribbon in her hair, looks at the flea with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation. The artist, Donald McGill, masterfully captures the moment of decision for the little girl. She seems unsure of what to do next with her unexpected catch. Should she release it back into the rug, or perhaps try to keep it as a pet? Or maybe even cook it for dinner, as her mischievous smile suggests? The possibilities are endless, and the girl's imagination is running wild. The flea, for its part, appears unfazed by the situation, clinging tightly to the girl's hand with its tiny legs. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricately drawn flea, with its antennae twitching and its body covered in tiny hairs. This charming and whimsical postcard is a perfect example of the classic British humor of the 20th century. It invites us to imagine the adventures and misadventures of the little girl and her flea, and to share in her sense of wonder and curiosity. Whether displayed in a collection of postcards or sent as a greeting card to a friend, this image is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.
