EDITORS COMMENTS
A Comically Chaotic Arrival at the Seaside Date: Early 20th Century This delightful comic postcard captures the humorous moment of a young woman's arrival at the seaside. Dressed in her Sunday best, complete with a large hat and carrying a suitcase, she eagerly steps off the train, ready to embark on her holiday. However, her excitement gets the better of her as she fails to notice the large gap between the train and the platform. With a dramatic flourish, she takes a step too far and tumbles down the steps, her luggage cascading after her. The crowd of onlookers, including a group of amused men and women, can't help but chuckle at her mishap. A dapper gentleman, identified as 'Donald McGill' in the bottom left corner, rushes to her aid, offering a hand and a sympathetic smile. The young woman, named 'Lizzie,' blushes with embarrassment but can't help but laugh at her own clumsiness. This charming postcard, with its humorous take on the classic seaside holiday experience, is a testament to the lighthearted and carefree spirit of the early 20th century. The use of exaggerated expressions and exaggerated body language adds to the comedic effect, making this a must-have for any collection of vintage postcards or comic art.
