Sea Sickness on Board Ship
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Humorous Take on the Perils of Maritime Travel in the 20th Century This comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, captures the humorous side of sea sickness on a ship. The image portrays a group of unhappy men on the deck of a rocking ship, all holding handkerchiefs to their faces, trying to alleviate their nausea. The man in the foreground, with a greenish complexion and a pained expression, clutches his stomach, while the man next to him looks at him with a sympathetic yet amused grin. The rough waves in the background add to the sense of unease and instability, while the captain and steward, both unphased, stand at the helm, smoking their pipes and seemingly unfazed by the turbulent sea. The caption on the bottom left corner reads, "Donald McGill's 'Humorous Postcard' Series," a nod to the British illustrator and satirical artist known for his comic postcards. This postcard is a fun and lighthearted reminder of the challenges and discomforts that come with maritime travel, even during holidays and cruises. The humorous take on sea sickness adds a touch of levity to the otherwise unpleasant experience, making it a cherished keepsake from a bygone era. The postcard's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time and inviting us to share in the laughter and camaraderie of the men on board.
