EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful 20th century comic postcard captures the lighthearted and humorous moment of a young couple taking a romantic nap in the idyllic countryside. The image, by renowned British postcard artist Donald McGill, showcases a pretty woman with a flower in her hand, lying on a soft lap quilt in a lush, green field. Her boyfriend, with a mischievous grin, playfully covers her eyes with a sheaf of wheat, creating a double entendre that adds to the fun and flirtatious atmosphere. The couple, deeply engrossed in their moment of love and rest, are oblivious to the surrounding rural scene. Wheat stooks and sheaves dot the landscape, hinting at the harvest season. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, adding to the romantic and picturesque setting. The title "Couple Asleep in the Countryside" is written in playful, cursive script at the bottom of the postcard, further emphasizing the lighthearted and whimsical nature of the scene. The couple's peaceful slumber is a testament to their deep connection and the beauty of the natural world around them. This charming and humorous postcard is a delightful reminder of the simple pleasures of love and the beauty of the countryside. It is a perfect keepsake for those who appreciate the quirky and playful side of romance and the natural world.
