EDITORS COMMENTS
(Man Looking Under the Bed, 20th Century) This delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, published by the renowned British humourist Donald McGill, captures the quintessential British sense of humour with its light-hearted and amusing take on everyday life. The scene depicts a man in stripy pyjamas, red and white, clad in a pair of bedside slippers, hunched over and intently looking under his bed. His furrowed brow and concerned expression suggest that he's on the hunt for a missing essential item. The man's bedroom is adorned with a simple yet charming chamber pot in the corner, adding to the quaint and nostalgic atmosphere of the image. The wallpaper features a striped pattern, further emphasizing the man's pyjamas and adding to the overall cohesiveness of the design. The caption above the man reads, "Luckily, it was only my chamber pot that was missing!" The punchline adds to the comedic relief and highlights the man's relief upon finding the missing item. This comical postcard is a perfect reminder of the simple joys and amusing quirks of everyday life, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage British humour. The man's guest or visitor, who may have inadvertently taken the chamber pot during their stay, is not depicted in the image, leaving the viewer to use their imagination and add to the story. This postcard is a fun and humorous addition to any bedroom or office wall, and is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who comes across it.
