Little Boy Meets His Godmother
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Delightful Comic Postcard from the 20th Century, Mary Evans Picture Library This charming and humorous comic postcard, titled "Little Boy Meets His Godmother," is a delightful snapshot of a surprise encounter between a young boy and his godmother. The scene is set in a cozy, middle-class home, with a middle-aged woman, dressed in her Sunday best, sitting comfortably in an armchair. The little boy, named Tommy, is shown in the foreground, looking absolutely shocked and surprised as he enters the room, exclaiming, "Well I'll be a monkey's uncle!" The humor in this postcard comes from the exaggerated expressions and body language of both the boy and the godmother. The boy's wide-eyed, open-mouthed stare and the godmother's raised eyebrows and hand to her chest in mock surprise add to the lightheartedness of the moment. The use of the phrase "monkey's uncle" also adds to the playful, informal tone of the postcard. The domestic setting of the postcard, with its comfortable armchair, well-worn rug, and homey decor, adds to the sense of warmth and familiarity. The use of the word "godmother" also implies a sense of tradition and family, making this postcard a wonderful representation of the joys and surprises of childhood and the enduring bonds of family and friendship. This postcard is a fun and lighthearted reminder of the simple pleasures of life and the importance of cherishing the moments that bring us joy and laughter. Whether sent as a greeting card or displayed as a decorative piece, this comic postcard is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.
