EDITORS COMMENTS
"A Delightful Dose of 20th Century Humor: 'The Courting Orange' Step back in time with this charming and witty comic postcard from the 20th century, titled 'The Courting Orange.' This humorous image captures the essence of courtship and romance in a way that is both fun and funny. The scene is set in a cozy living room, where a man and a woman sit comfortably in an oversized armchair, each with a smirk on their faces. The woman, dressed in a stylish orange dress, playfully holds an orange in one hand, while the man, in a smart suit, extends his hand towards her, also holding an orange. The double entendre in this scene is not lost on the viewer, as the orange represents both a tasty fruit and a romantic gesture. The couple's body language and expressions suggest that they are sharing a private joke or innuendo, adding to the playful atmosphere of the image. The woman's hand rests on the man's knee, while his hand hovers just above her knee, creating a sense of anticipation and excitement. The man's other hand is poised to offer the orange to the woman, who seems to be considering his offer. This comic postcard is a delightful reminder of the lighter side of 20th century life, and the enduring power of humor and romance to bring people together. Whether you're looking to add some whimsy to your home decor or to share a laugh with a friend, 'The Courting Orange' is sure to bring a smile to your face." Artist: Donald McGill (not to be confused with the McGill postcard company) Date: 20th century Source: Mary Evans Prints Online.
