Title: "The Snooty Employer and His Maids" - A Hilarious 20th Century Comic Postcard Step back in time with this delightful comic postcard, showcasing a classic British scene from the 20th century. The image captures the moment of truth between an employer, donning a pince-nez and a prim and proper air, and his two maids - one young and pretty, the other middle-aged and equally charming. The employer, with a smug expression and a clock in hand, seems to be inspecting the maids' luggage, scrutinizing their belongings as if searching for some hidden flaw. The young maid, with a playful smirk, holds up a suitcase with a 'For Sale' sign, while the older maid, with a mischievous glint in her eye, brandishes a feather duster, ready to defend her belongings. This comic postcard, produced by the renowned Donald McGill publishing house, is a testament to the lighter side of life in the 20th century. The humorous depiction of the employer's snobbish behavior and the maids' clever comebacks is sure to bring a smile to your face. The postcard's vibrant colors and intricate details add to its charm, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage memorabilia. So, take a break from the hustle and bustle of modern life and enjoy a moment of lighthearted fun with this charming comic postcard. Whether you're a history buff, a collector, or simply someone who appreciates a good laugh, this 20th-century gem is sure to delight!
