EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and feast your eyes on this delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, featuring a jovial scene of happy diners in a quintessential British restaurant! The plump, grinning man in the foreground, with a pie in one hand and a fork in the other, seems to be relishing every bite. His companions, also bursting with contentment, raise their glasses of champagne in a toast to the good things in life. The verses at the bottom of the card add to the humorous tone, with the first reading, "A plump man sat in a chair, With a plate of pie before him there, He cut it up in little squares, And with a grin, he showed his shares." The second verse continues the playful theme, "A plump man sat in a chair, With a bottle of wine before him there, He filled his glass with a glare, And drank it down without a care." The diners' expressions of pure enjoyment and satisfaction are contagious, making this postcard a fun and lighthearted reminder of simpler times. From the generous portions of pie and pastries to the bottles of champagne and glasses of alcohol, this happy diner in the restaurant is a celebration of the simple pleasures in life. So take a moment to appreciate the humor and joy in this charming snapshot from the past!
