EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "A Right Proper Chat Over Tea," 20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, captures the essence of two young women engrossed in a lively conversation over a steaming cup of tea in a quintessential British teashop. The women, dressed in their Sunday best with collared blouses and prim hats, sit comfortably at a cozy table adorned with an array of teacups and saucers. Their animated expressions and exaggerated body language suggest a juicy topic of gossip or perhaps an intriguing social affair. The men in the background, peering through the cafe window, appear intrigued and slightly amused by the women's animated discussion. The artist, Donald McGill, masterfully employs humor and wit to convey the playful banter between the two friends. The teashop setting, with its ornate decor and elegant atmosphere, adds to the overall charm and sophistication of the scene. The comic postcard, with its light-hearted and whimsical portrayal of everyday life, is a testament to the enduring appeal of British humor and the simple pleasure of sharing a cup of tea and a good chat with a friend.
