A Merry Night Out
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Two Drunken Men, 20th Century) In this classic comic postcard from the 20th century, two plump and jovial men are seen making the most of an evening out on the town. Dressed in waistcoats and sporting red faces, they lean against a fence, their laughter spilling out into the night air. One man, with a chain and watch dangling from his pocket, grins broadly at his companion, who is equally amused by their antics. The men's drunken state is evident in their unsteady posture and rosy cheeks, but their merriment is infectious. They sit on the pavement, their feet propped up on a gate, and seem oblivious to the lamppost and passing traffic. The night is young, and these two friends are making the most of it. This charming and humorous postcard is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, when a night out meant letting go of inhibitions and enjoying the company of good friends. The image is reminiscent of the works of British comic artist Donald McGill, who was known for his humorous and often risqué postcard designs. This particular card, with its light-hearted depiction of two drunken men, is a fun and playful reminder of the simple pleasures of a night out with friends. The Donald McGill Archive Collection, housed at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a treasure trove of comic art from the 20th century. This postcard, "A Merry Night Out," is just one example of the many delightful and amusing designs that can be found in this extensive collection.
