A New Reredos for the Church - A Hilarious 20th Century Comic Postcard This delightfully humorous comic postcard from the 20th century, published by the renowned British satirical artist Donald McGill, captures the essence of light-hearted British humor. The scene depicts a group of middle-aged women gathered around the church, admiring the new reredos - an ornamental screen or decorative panel behind an altar. The women, dressed in their Sunday best, are deep in conversation, their heads tilted towards each other as they share a juicy piece of gossip. The double entendre in their chat is cleverly illustrated by the vicar, who stands nearby, looking puzzled and slightly annoyed, holding a toilet plunger. The women's gestures and expressions add to the comedic effect, with one woman pointing to the reredos and exclaiming, "Isn't it lovely, dear? It's just what the church needed!" while another replies, "Yes, and it's certainly given the vicar something to 'plunge' into!" The misunderstanding between the women and the vicar is further emphasized by the caption above the image, which reads, "The New Reredos for the Church - A Verbal Chat Between the Ladies and the Vicar." This comic postcard is a fun and light-hearted reminder of the past, showcasing the playful British sense of humor and the universal theme of gossip. It's a charming addition to any collection of vintage postcards or a great conversation starter for any room in your home.
