EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on this delightful snapshot from the roaring twenties! This charming comic postcard, titled "Boy and Girl Playing," transports us back to the 1910s, a time of innocence and mischief. The scene unfolds with two youngsters, a boy in a dapper cap and a girl in a frilly dress, engaged in an amusing game of pretend. The boy, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, playfully pretends to throw a ball at the unsuspecting girl. She, in turn, feigns surprise and playfully covers her face with her hands, her eyes peeking out in mock alarm. This whimsical moment is brought to us by the masterful hand of Donald McGill, a renowned British comedian and artist known for his humorous postcards. McGill's signature style is evident in the exaggerated expressions and playful poses of the children, adding to the overall comedic effect. The children's toys scattered around them - a ball, a book, and a hoop - serve as a reminder of simpler times, when the joys of childhood were found in the simplest of things. The muted colors and intricate details of the illustration further add to its vintage charm. This postcard is not only a delightful glimpse into the past but also a reminder of the timeless joy and innocence of childhood. So take a moment to appreciate this light-hearted moment and let the laughter of these two youngsters bring a smile to your face!
