The Jolly Giants of the Sea
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, published by the renowned British humourist Donald McGill, captures the essence of a fun-filled day at the seaside. The large man and woman, both dressed in their summer best, are seen paddling blissfully in the clear blue waters of the sea. The man, with a broad smile on his face, wears a striped cap and a revealing bathing costume that leaves little to the imagination. His ample size is humorously emphasized by the way the water reaches only up to his waist, while the woman, wearing a red bikini, is fully submerged in the water up to her chest. The woman, equally happy, looks back at her husband with a playful grin, her plump figure accentuated by the way her bathing costume clings to her body. The contrast between their sizes adds to the comedic effect of the scene. The couple's joyous moment at the seaside is further enhanced by the sunny weather, the clear blue sky, and the gentle waves lapping at their feet. The postcard's caption, "The Jolly Giants of the Sea," adds to the light-hearted and humorous tone of the image. This postcard is a testament to the simple pleasures of a British holiday by the sea, where laughter, fun, and relaxation are the order of the day.
