EDITORS COMMENTS
A Hilarious Peek into the Past: A 20th Century Comic Postcard Depicting the Manufacturer of Ladies Bloomers Step back in time with this delightful and humorous comic postcard from the 20th century, featuring a scene of a bustling British factory producing ladies' bloomers. The playful image captures the essence of the era's quirky sense of humor, as two men, donning top hats and canes, attempt to 'pull down' a thousand-year-old tradition by 'four's and 'double's' (an entendre for 'fourth' and 'double' meaning) in the production line of ladies' undergarments. The women in the background, dressed in their bloomers and bonnets, seem unfazed by the men's antics, continuing their work with focused determination. The caption at the bottom of the postcard reads, 'Gossiping about the latest fashion - Ladies Bloomers.' This charming postcard, produced by the renowned British comic postcard manufacturer Donald McGill, offers a fun and lighthearted glimpse into the past, showcasing the double meaning and verbal wit that was popular in the comic postcard genre during the 20th century. The image is a delightful reminder of the rich history of British humor and the evolution of undergarment fashion through the ages.
