The Man Selling His Car - A Comic Take on Business and Negotiation
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful comic postcard, hailing from the 20th century, showcases a humorous scene of a man selling his car on the street. The artist, Donald McGill, known for his satirical and light-hearted approach, masterfully captures the essence of the car-selling experience with a touch of British wit. In the image, a man is shown standing next to an open-top red car, his arms outstretched, and a sign reading "For Sale" attached to the windshield. He is engaged in an animated conversation with a potential purchaser, who is holding up a large note with the number 1066 written on it. The man's facial expression suggests a mix of determination and desperation, as if he's willing to go to great lengths to close the deal. The purchaser, on the other hand, is shown with a sly grin and a calculating look in his eyes, clutching a stack of pound notes. The artist cleverly adds a small dog in the background, adding a whimsical touch to the scene and emphasizing the casual, laid-back atmosphere of the transaction. This comic postcard offers a fun and lighthearted take on the business of selling a car, with its exaggerated expressions, clever dialogue, and charming illustration style. It's a snapshot of a bygone era, when car sales were conducted on the street corner, and a handshake and a few pounds were all it took to change hands. A must-have for anyone with a sense of humor and an appreciation for the quirks and charms of the past.
