The Plunging Queen - A Royal Dive into the Sea!
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful 20th-century comic postcard captures the joyful moment of a large, regally attired woman taking a bold plunge into the sea. With a beaming smile and a determined look in her eyes, she defies societal norms and fearlessly embraces the refreshing waters. Her vibrant red swimsuit, complete with a stylish cap, adds a playful touch to her regal appearance. The onlookers, a mix of amused and surprised expressions, create an engaging scene. The man in the striped shirt seems to be enjoying the spectacle, while the woman in the background looks on with a mix of fear and awe. The overall atmosphere is light-hearted and fun, making this postcard a perfect representation of a carefree day at the seaside. This comic postcard, reminiscent of the iconic British humor, is a testament to the joy and excitement that comes with summer holidays and the simple pleasure of taking a dip in the sea. It is a humorous and endearing reminder of the courage and confidence that comes with embracing new experiences, no matter one's size or perceived limitations. The artist, Donald McGill, was known for his humorous and often risqué postcard designs, making this piece a rare and delightful find among his works. This charming image is sure to bring a smile to your face and a sense of nostalgia to those fond of the British seaside tradition.
