EDITORS COMMENTS
'A Hard-Earned Seaside Break' (circa 20th century) This delightful comic postcard captures the essence of a well-deserved holiday by the sea. The man in the foreground, dressed in a striped blazer and plump figure, is the epitome of a man who has toiled long and hard at work. He's finally made it to the seaside, and he's not wasting a moment. With a satisfied grin on his face, he holds a steaming pint of beer in one hand and a cigar in the other, taking in the salty sea air. The background is filled with the hustle and bustle of the seaside scene. Children play in the sand, couples stroll along the promenade, and other men relax in deckchairs, enjoying their own hard-earned breaks. The man in the foreground, however, seems to be relishing in the moment more than most. He leans against a post with a contented sigh, as if the weight of the world has been lifted off his shoulders. This humorous and fun postcard, produced by the renowned British comic postcard publisher, Donald McGill, is a testament to the simple pleasures of a summer holiday. The man's choice to enjoy a beer and cigar by the sea is an honest representation of the leisurely pursuits that make holidays so special. So, take a moment to appreciate this man's well-deserved break and the joy that comes with making the most of a hard-earned holiday by the sea.
