EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful 20th century comic postcard capturing the humorous moment of bedtime for young boys. In this charming scene, a little boy in red and white striped pyjamas, with bare feet peeking out from under his bed, is being led to bed by his mother. His expression is one of reluctance and protest, as he clings to his teddy bear and looks back at the various toys and adventures that await him in the room. His brother, already tucked in and fast asleep, can be seen in the background, wearing a smirk on his face, adding to the fun and playful atmosphere. The mother, dressed in an apron and with a gentle smile, seems to be enjoying the bedtime routine, as she patiently reassures her son that it's time for prayers and sleep. The use of bright colors, exaggerated expressions, and simple yet expressive illustrations make this postcard a perfect example of British comic art from the 20th century. This charming and funny postcard is a reminder of the universal experience of bedtime and the special bond between children and their mothers.
