A Splashing Good Time - The Double Entendre of a 20th Century British Comic Postcard
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 20th century comic postcard, titled "Woman bathing in the sea," is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, filled with humor and double meanings. The image depicts a plump woman in a striped bathing costume, complete with a scarf tied around her head, as she wades into the crystal-clear waters of a seaside resort. At first glance, the postcard appears to be a simple, lighthearted representation of a woman enjoying a holiday by the sea. But upon closer inspection, the humor of the image reveals itself in the form of a clever play on words. The woman's broad smile and the caption "Meets Eye" suggest a double entendre, implying that not only is she meeting the eye of the viewer, but also that she is meeting the gaze of an admiring gentleman. The use of the word "meets" is also a nod to the popular British seaside pastime of "meeting eyes" with a romantic interest. The image is further enhanced by the woman's generous figure, which adds to the overall fun and lightheartedness of the scene. This postcard is a testament to the power of visual humor and the enduring appeal of the British seaside holiday. It invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of life and to find joy in the unexpected meanings that can be hidden in plain sight.
