EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Smiths Trousers Are Down Again - Inspection Invited Date: A Hilarious Edwardian Misunderstanding" 2. Caption: Step back in time with this early 20th-century comic postcard, "Smiths Trousers Are Down Again - Inspection Invited Date," brought to you by the renowned British humourist, Donald McGill. This delightful piece of visual wit is a perfect example of the double entendre, a form of verbal humour that relies on multiple meanings. The scene unfolds in a quaint shop window display, where a middle-aged woman, her eyes wide with shock and disbelief, gazes at a mannequin in the window of a clothing store named "Smith's." The mannequin, dressed in trousers that appear to be in disrepair, has been labeled with a sign that reads, "Trousers Are Down Again - Inspection Invited Date." At first glance, one might assume that the trousers are in need of repair and that the shopkeeper, Mr. Smith, has invited customers for an inspection. However, upon closer examination, the humorous meaning becomes clear: the trousers are not only down, but they are also revealing more than intended, leading to a rather unexpected and amusing misunderstanding. This postcard, with its clever use of wordplay and humour, is a testament to the enduring appeal of British comedy and the power of the double entendre. It also offers a glimpse into the fashion trends and social norms of the Edwardian era, making it a fascinating and entertaining piece of historical art. So, take a moment to appreciate the simple yet effective humour of this comic postcard and let the laughter transport you back in time.
