Accident Backward Candid Falling Falls Fate Humourous Photographer Revealing Ribald River Bank Rude Silly Skirts Sticks Subject Suffering Tripping Trips

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Rib-Tickling Mishap in the World of Early 20th Century Photography. This humorous postcard, hailing from the early days of photography in 1908, captures an amusing moment that befalls an unsuspecting subject during a candid photographic session at the riverbank. The image, though playfully rude, has stood the test of time as a testament to the lighter side of historical photography. The photograph portrays a photographer, intently focused on his subject, who has inexplicably tripped over a series of sticks, causing her to fall backward in a most revealing manner. The ribald comment printed on the card, "But I thought it was your face you wanted taking!", adds an extra layer of humor to the scene. The subject, dressed in a full skirt, appears to be in a state of surprise and embarrassment, while the photographer, seemingly oblivious to the turn of events, continues to prepare for the next shot. This candid moment, frozen in time, offers a glimpse into the historical context of early 20th century photography and the often unpredictable nature of the medium. This humorous postcard, with its lighthearted commentary and playful imagery, serves as a reminder that even in the most serious of pursuits, there is always room for a little humor and mischief.
