EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this delightful Humorous Postcard by Cynicus, titled "Seaside Sketches," dated 1908 from the charming era of the early 1900s. This whimsical postcard is brimming with playful words and wit, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage humor. The scene unfolds with a smack, a traditional fishing boat, attempting to give a buoy a friendly tap, only to be met with an unexpected swell. The boat's occupants, no doubt taken aback by the sudden wave, are portrayed in a lighthearted manner, adding to the overall comedic effect. Next, we see a barque, a type of sailing ship, anchoring at a quaint little cove. The caption reads, "Anchoring after a swell," implying that even the most seasoned sailors can be caught off guard by the unpredictable nature of the sea. Lastly, a treasure chest labeled "Treasures of the Deep" is shown, complete with a gold coin and a pearl, suggesting the allure and mystery of the ocean's depths. The combination of the humorous captions and the intricate illustrations make this postcard a true gem from the past. Martin Anderson, the talented artist behind the pseudonym Cynicus, expertly captures the essence of the seaside and the unexpected twists that life at sea can bring. This postcard is a testament to the power of words and wit, and a reminder that even the simplest moments can be infused with humor and fun.
