EDITORS COMMENTS
Large Lady at the Races" - A Hilarious Comic Postcard from the 20th Century This delightful comic postcard, titled "Large Lady at the Races," is a humorous take on a day at the races. The image features a plump woman, dressed in a bright red dress, sitting on a bench between two men. The men, both dressed in suits and hats, are deeply engrossed in a conversation, their faces close together as they discuss their betting strategies. The humor in this postcard lies in the double meaning of the title. On one hand, the "large lady" refers to the woman's ample figure. On the other hand, it could also be a playful reference to her being a "heavy hitter" or a "big spender" when it comes to betting. The men's expressions and body language suggest that they are trying to win her favor and her money. The postcard is a classic example of British humor, which often finds amusement in the absurd and the unexpected. The use of entendre adds an extra layer of fun and wit to the image. The postcard is also a testament to the enduring popularity of horse racing as a sport and the excitement and anticipation that comes with placing a bet. This charming comic postcard, with its humorous take on a day at the races, is a must-have for any collection of vintage postcards or memorabilia. It is a fun and lighthearted reminder of a bygone era and the simple pleasures of life." Mary Evans Picture Library/Mary Evans
