A Peek into the Playful World of a 20th Century British Wedding: A Comic Postcard Step back in time with this delightful comic postcard, capturing the charm and humor of a dress rehearsal for a 20th century British wedding. The scene unfolds in the cozy confines of a quaint living room, where a slim, young, pretty woman, dressed in her wedding gown, sits in an armchair, engrossed in a newspaper. Her groom, an equally young and handsome man, sits beside her, also in his Sunday best, deep in thought. Their expressions suggest that they are in the midst of a lively discussion, perhaps about the upcoming nuptials or the many surprises that married life may bring. But a double entendre in the air adds a touch of whimsy to the moment. The caption at the bottom of the postcard reads, "Dress Rehearsal," and the image of the couple, with their undressed reflections in the mirror behind them, adds a playful twist to the phrase. This charming comic postcard, reminiscent of the works of renowned British illustrators like Donald McGill, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the comic genre. With its humorous take on the wedding preparations, it is sure to bring a smile to your face and transport you to a bygone era.
