Title: A Hair-raising Experience at the Barber's Shop, Early 20th Century This delightful comic postcard, titled "A Hair-raising Experience at the Barber's Shop," transports us back in time to an Edwardian era barber shop. The scene is filled with humor and intrigue as a man, dressed in fashionable Edwardian attire, sits nervously in the barber's chair. His expression suggests that he's bracing himself for an unexpected surprise. The barber, with a mischievous grin on his face, wields a pair of scissors and a comb, while a ghostly figure peeks out from the mirror behind him. The ghost, with a surprised look on its face, appears to be sticking its hand through the mirror, as if trying to reach out and give the man a fright. The other customers in the shop seem unfazed by the supernatural occurrence, continuing to read their papers or chat amongst themselves. One man, in particular, seems to be enjoying the situation, as he points and laughs at the scene unfolding before him. The postcard, created by the renowned British comic artist Donald McGill, is a testament to the lighter side of life in the early 20th century. McGill was known for his humorous and often risqué postcards, which were popular during this time. This particular postcard, with its playful depiction of a ghostly barber shop encounter, is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. Whether you're a fan of history, comic art, or just looking for a light-hearted moment, this postcard is a must-have addition to any collection. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the hilarious antics of this man at the barber's shop - just be sure to keep an eye out for any unexpected guests!
