The Resigning Maid, Mistress, and Master

EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Humorous 20th Century Comic Postcard from the Mary Evans Picture Library This delightfully humorous comic postcard, titled "The Resigning Maid, Mistress, and Master," is a charming relic from the 20th century, showcasing a lighthearted take on the dynamics of a British household. The image, brought to us by the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the wit and whimsy of the era's popular art. At the center of the scene, a plump and annoyed maid, dressed in a purple apron and pinafore, is in the process of resigning from her position. The mistress, a pretty, middle-aged woman with a stern expression, is trying to persuade her to stay, while the master, a wimpish, frowning man, looks on in disbelief. The maid, with her hands on her hips and a determined look on her face, seems to have had enough of the demands and quirks of her employers. The humor in this postcard lies in the exaggerated expressions and body language of the characters, as well as the unexpected roles reversal. The maid, traditionally seen as the submissive servant, is asserting her agency, while the mistress and master are left dumbfounded. The use of color, with the maid's purple apron standing out against the muted tones of the household, adds to the visual appeal of the image. This comic postcard is a fun and lighthearted reminder of the quirks and challenges of domestic life, and the unexpected twists that can occur within the confines of a household. It is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, and a testament to the enduring appeal of humorous art.
