A Marvellous Sight: A Plump Woman and Her Moustachioed Husband Drown Their Sorrows in a 20th Century British Pub This comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, captures the humorous and lighthearted side of pub life. The image features a plump woman, her shopping bag in hand, and a middle-aged man with a moustache, both sitting at a table in a traditional British pub. The woman, with a determined look on her face, holds up a quart of beer, the liquid dripping from the glass, while her husband, with a quizzical expression, raises an eyebrow and looks at her disbelievingly as she downs the drink. The man himself cradles a pint of beer in a classic tankard, his own moustache twirling as he seems to be making a comment to his wife. The scene is filled with fun and laughter, as the woman's shopping bag and the dripping beer suggest that she may have had a long day, and the pub is her well-deserved reward. The man, with his raised eyebrow and amused expression, adds to the lightheartedness of the moment, as if to say, "I know what you're up to, love!" The overall effect is a charming and comical snapshot of a moment in time, reminiscent of the classic British humour found in the works of Donald McGill and other comic postcard artists of the era.
