EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Humorous Twist to Boating in the 1920s Lakeland: A Man's Desperate Plea to the Boatmen! 2.. In the quirky and carefree spirit of the 1920s, this charming postcard from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Collection captures a light-hearted moment on the tranquil waters of Lakeland, Cumbria, England. The scene depicts a man on a small, upturned boat, looking up at two boatmen with a hopeful and slightly mischievous grin. With water dripping from his sodden clothes, he quips, "If you don't get ashore, can I keep the boat?" 3. Background: The 1920s were a time of joy and laughter, and this humorous postcard is a testament to the playful nature of the era. The man's question, while seemingly frivolous, reveals his determination to enjoy the day on the lake, even if it means making a splash. The boatmen, with their amused expressions, seem to be taking the situation in stride, adding to the overall sense of fun and camaraderie. 4. Details: The postcard, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, transports us back to a simpler time. The man's wet and bedraggled appearance, along with the overturned boat and the dripping oars, all contribute to the cartoon-like feel of the image. The quaint boats, the lush greenery, and the clear blue waters of the lake create a picturesque backdrop for this delightful scene. 5. Conclusion: This postcard is a wonderful reminder of the lighter side of boating in the 1920s, a time when a little bit of humor and a lot of fun could be found on the waters of Lakeland, Cumbria. Whether you're a history buff, a collector, or simply someone who appreciates a good laugh, this humorous postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face.
