EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a time in the 20th century, a young man named Donald found himself smitten with a pretty woman in a red dress. Unable to contain his excitement and eagerness to express his feelings, he resorted to the most romantic and clandestine method he could think of – peering through a keyhole to catch a glimpse of her in an intimate moment. The scene unfolds in this delightful comic postcard, where we see Donald, with a mischievous grin on his face, leaning in close to the keyhole, trying to get a better look. Behind the door, the woman, unaware of Donald's presence, sits in an armchair, cuddling with another man. The disappointment on Donald's face is palpable, but his determination to win her heart remains unwavering. This humorous and light-hearted postcard, reminiscent of the classic British comic style of Donald McGill, captures the essence of young love and the lengths one might go to in pursuit of it. The cosy and romantic setting, with its warm colors and inviting atmosphere, adds to the charm of the image, making it a delightful addition to any collection of vintage postcards.
