The Underwear Affair - A Comic Encounter at the Lingerie Shop
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful 20th-century comic postcard, a young and pretty woman, clad in a fashionable hat and coat, is engaged in an amusing interaction with a dapper shop assistant at a lingerie shop. The assistant, with a mischievous grin, demonstrates various undergarments to the woman, who seems both surprised and slightly embarrassed. The scene unfolds as the woman, with her arms folded across her chest, leans over the counter to examine a box of frilly knickers. The assistant, wearing a serious expression, rolls out a length of material from under the counter, revealing an array of different textures and patterns. The woman's reaction is priceless, as she looks at the assistant with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. The shop assistant, ever the helpful salesman, continues to show off his wares, rolling out another box of underwear and exclaiming, "Madam, these are the latest in men's underwear! I think you'll find them most comfortable!" The woman's expression turns to one of disbelief as she looks at the man, who is now wearing a pair of the underwear himself, complete with a jaunty bow at the waist. The woman's companion, a man in the background, watches the scene unfold with a bemused expression, no doubt wondering what on earth is going on. The overall atmosphere of the postcard is light-hearted and humorous, with the comic illustrations adding to the fun and playful tone. This charming comic postcard is a delightful snapshot of everyday life in the 20th century, showcasing the importance of humor and the human connection in even the most mundane of situations.
