EDITORS COMMENTS
A Hearty Laugh at the Coronation: A Large Lady's Double Ticket Surprise! This delightful comic postcard from the 20th century captures the playful spirit of the British people during the Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937. The image features a plump woman, beaming with joy and excitement, proudly displaying two Coronation tickets. The double ticket, an amusing visual pun, is sure to have elicited chuckles and raised eyebrows among spectators of the time. The woman's jubilant expression and expansive figure are reminiscent of the iconic "Fat Lady Sings" image from the Donald McGill postcard empire. McGill's humorous postcards were renowned for their double entendres and innuendos, often featuring large women in various comical situations. This postcard is a testament to the enjoyment and camaraderie shared by the British public during this special occasion. The Coronation was a time for celebration, unity, and laughter, and this postcard perfectly encapsulates the light-hearted spirit of the event. The large woman's cheerful demeanor and the double meaning of her tickets add to the overall fun and whimsy of the image. The postcard serves as a reminder of the importance of finding joy and humor in everyday life, even during grand celebrations and momentous occasions.
