EDITORS COMMENTS
Once upon a time in the 20th century, a pretty woman in an Edwardian-style bedroom took a moment to reflect on the passing of time. Sitting in front of a low dressing table, she admired her reflection in the mirror, a wistful smile playing on her lips as she ran her fingers through her grey hairs. The young woman, clad in a low-neckline gown, seemed to find the silver strands amusing, as if they were a badge of honor for her advancing age. This charming comic postcard, titled "Pretty woman in her bedroom - grey hairs," is a delightful snapshot of the playful and humorous perspective on aging that was popular during the early 20th century. The image, created by the renowned British illustrator Donald McGill, is a testament to the enduring spirit of the human experience and the ability to find joy and humor in the most unexpected places. The woman's expression and posture convey a sense of grace and acceptance, as she acknowledges the changes that come with growing older. Her bedroom, adorned with elegant furnishings and a cozy fireplace, exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere, further emphasizing the comfort and contentment she finds in her own skin. This postcard, with its intricate details and delightful sense of humor, is a must-have for any collection of vintage ephemera or for those who appreciate the artistry and whimsy of the 20th century. A true treasure from the past, it serves as a reminder that age is just a number and that every stage of life has its own unique beauty and charm.
