A Charming Comic Postcard from the 20th Century - "La Femme au Bâton de Rochers" (The Woman with the Rock Candy Stick) This delightful comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, captures the humorous side of a woman's seaside holiday experience. The image shows a woman in a vibrant pink dress, carrying a large, awkward stick of rock as if it were a burdensome suitcase. Her determined expression and the exaggerated posture of her carrying the rock with both hands and one foot on a railing add to the comical effect. The woman's stockings and garters peek out from under her skirt, giving a playful nod to the fashion of the time. The background shows a bustling seaside promenade, filled with other holidaymakers enjoying their day by the sea. On the reverse side of the postcard, the caption is written in both English and French, adding to the international appeal of this lighthearted scene. The English caption reads, "Donald McGill's Humorous Postcard," while the French caption translates to "Donald McGill's Comic Postcard - The Woman with the Rock Candy Stick." This charming postcard is a fun and humorous representation of a woman's seaside holiday experience, complete with the challenges of carrying a large souvenir and the joy of a sunny day by the sea. Whether you're reminiscing about past vacations or sending a lighthearted greeting to a friend, this comic postcard is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.
