The Sewer Age of Chivalry
- A Hilarious 20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful comic postcard, hailing from the 20th century, captures the humorous side of sewer work and the intriguing dynamics between a sewage worker and his boss. The scene unfolds on a bustling British street, where a sewage worker, dressed in muddy boots and dripping with water, is seen emerging from a large sewer hole in the ground. The man, with a determined look on his face, is holding a ladder, while his boss, wearing a bowler hat and a flat cap, stands on the pavement, looking rather displeased. The worker, with a triumphant grin, extends his hand towards the boss, who is holding a large, flat piece of cardboard. It appears that the worker has successfully completed a particularly challenging task, and the boss is inspecting the evidence – a clean piece of cardboard, presumably used to test the cleanliness of the sewer. The worker's jubilant expression and the boss's grumpy demeanor add to the comedic nature of the scene. The contrast between the two men, representing the manual laborer and the middle-class boss, highlights the humorously unequal power dynamic. The worker's triumphant moment, despite the unpleasant nature of his job, adds a touch of fun and lightheartedness to the image. This charming postcard, created by the renowned British comic artist Donald McGill, is a testament to the humor and wit of the 20th century. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing a humorous perspective on the daily lives and relationships between workers and their bosses.
