EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, titled "And now, dear friends, I want a Committee of Ladies to sit on the supply of eggs!" This humorous image presents a surprised and somewhat shocked Vicar, with a red cross on his chest, standing amongst a group of women of various ages. The women, ranging from young to middle-aged, seem equally taken aback by the Vicar's unexpected announcement. The double meaning of the Vicar's statement is evident, as the word "sit" can be interpreted in two ways - to take a seat and to oversee or manage. The women's reactions suggest that they have initially misunderstood the Vicar's intentions, leading to a moment of amusement and perhaps even a touch of embarrassment. This charming postcard, reminiscent of the British humor of the time, is a testament to the power of verbal misunderstandings and the unexpected twists they can bring. The image is also a nod to the charitable work often carried out by women in the church, with the collection or "supply" of eggs likely being for a charitable cause. The postcard is a visual representation of the comic genius of Donald McGill, a renowned British poster artist and illustrator known for his humorous and often risqué postcards. This particular postcard, with its clever use of language and unexpected twist, is a prime example of McGill's ability to bring a smile to people's faces through his artwork.
