EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Classic Comic Postcard from the 20th Century Step back in time with this delightfully humorous comic postcard, featuring a dapper gentleman in a striped blazer and trousers, enjoying a luxurious holiday in the sun. The man, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, casually lights his extravagant cigar using a one-pound note. The note, now transformed into a makeshift match, burns brightly as he inhales the rich, aromatic smoke. This comically extravagant scene is a testament to the playful spirit of British humor during the 20th century. The postcard, reminiscent of the iconic Donald McGill seaside postcards, is a fun and lighthearted representation of the era's carefree attitude towards money and indulgence. The man's casual disregard for the value of the one-pound note, a significant sum during that time, adds to the humor and whimsy of the image. The green notes, now replaced by the fiery orange and black of the burning match, create a striking contrast against the man's tan and the vibrant background. This comic postcard, with its charming illustrations and humorous premise, is a wonderful piece of British cultural history. It serves as a reminder of simpler times and the enduring appeal of a good laugh.
