Ridiculous Scottish Comic Postcard
A quite utterly ridiculous Scottish Comic Postcard, where a couple are hoodwinked into believing that the actions of a (not very) nearby donkey are actually the amorous advances of their partner! The tickling of the gentlemans whiskers on Janes face are courtesy of Dobbins tail and the loving words whispered into Sandys ear are the braying of the aforementioned mule... Date: 1909

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
A Quintessentially Scottish Scene of Misidentified Affection: 1909 Comic Postcard This charming, yet utterly ridiculous, Scottish comic postcard from 1909 captures a moment of hilarious confusion between a couple, as they mistake the actions of a nearby donkey for the amorous advances of their respective partners. The scene is set on a quaint wooden bench, nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of Scotland. The gentleman, Sandy, is seated on the right, wearing a traditional Scottish kilt and sporran. His face is contorted in delight as he experiences the tickling sensation of Dobbins' tail on his whiskers. Meanwhile, his partner, Jane, is seated on the left, her eyes closed in bliss as she leans in to receive the whispered words of affection from her beloved. Unbeknownst to her, the tender whispers are actually the braying of the mule, Dobbins, who is just inches away. The couple's identities are further blurred as they both reach out to touch each other, their hands almost meeting in the middle. The playful scene is a delightful example of the silly and light-hearted humor that was popular in comic postcards of the era. The postcard's caption, which reads "A Quite Utterly Ridiculous Scottish Comic Postcard," adds to the overall amusement, highlighting the absurdity of the situation and the joy that can be found in the smallest of misunderstandings. This postcard is a wonderful reminder of the simple pleasures and the power of imagination, as well as the importance of keeping a sense of humor, even in the most unexpected of circumstances.
