EDITORS COMMENTS
A humorous 20th-century comic postcard depicts a middle-aged man in a state of earnest prayer, kneeling at the edge of a bed. The woman lying in the bed, clad in red and white striped pyjamas, looks on with a bemused expression. The man's bedside table is cluttered with various patches and patches sewn onto different parts of his worn-out attire, giving the scene a quaint, homespun feel. The man's pleading expression and the woman's amused gaze create a playful dynamic, as if this is a regular occurrence in their unmarried, single living arrangement. The man's prayer, written in rhyme on the back of the postcard, reads: "Oh dear, my dear, please don't be far, I'm down on my knees, in my patched and worn, praying for a bit more of your charm." This lighthearted, British-style comic postcard captures the essence of everyday life with a touch of humor and whimsy.
