EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "A Donkey-Back Ride and a Bottle of Stout at the Seaside" This delightful comic postcard, dated back to the 20th century, captures the essence of a quintessential British seaside holiday. The image features a woman in a red bikini, her hair blowing in the wind as she enjoys a ride on the back of a donkey at the beach. The donkey, with its comically exaggerated expression, appears to be enjoying the ride just as much as its passenger. In one hand, the woman holds a bottle of stout, the frothy head of which is forming a charming contrast against the blue sea and the sandy beach. The verse on the bottom of the postcard reads, "A donkey-back ride and a bottle of stout, A day at the seaside, no doubt about!" This humorous and light-hearted postcard is a testament to the simple pleasures of a British holiday by the sea. The woman's carefree expression and the donkey's playful demeanor convey a sense of fun and enjoyment that is timeless. The addition of the bottle of stout adds an element of nostalgia and merriment, making this postcard a beloved keepsake from a bygone era. This charming postcard is reminiscent of the works of renowned British comic postcard publishers such as Donald McGill. Its rhyming verse and comic illustration are classic examples of the humorous and light-hearted style that characterized the British seaside postcard tradition during the 20th century.
