EDITORS COMMENTS
A Day at the Seaside: Three's Company, Yet Two's a Crowd! This delightful comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, captures the essence of a classic British seaside day out. The scene unfolds on a sunny day at the beach, where two dapper gentlemen in straw boaters and plus-fours, don their best smiles as they attempt to assist a pretty, young woman in the art of paddle boating. The woman, dressed in a stylish summer dress and hat, looks graceful yet slightly annoyed as she tries to maintain her balance while her suitors fumble with the oars. In the background, a third man, Gussie, wielding a camera, snaps a photo, no doubt hoping to capture the perfect moment for his scrapbook. The men's expressions suggest a friendly rivalry, while the woman's exasperated look adds a touch of humour to the scene. This charming postcard is reminiscent of the iconic British seaside humour of Donald McGill, known for his saucy and amusing postcard designs. The image is filled with fun and enjoyment, yet also hints at the occasional frustration and annoyance that comes with trying to please the fairer sex. The vibrant colours and intricate detailing of the illustration bring the scene to life, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage postcards or seaside memorabilia. Whether you're a fan of British humour, seaside traditions, or simply looking for a light-hearted addition to your decor, this postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face.
