1. Title: A Misunderstood Request: A Pretty Young Woman's Search for YWCA at the Railway Station Caption: This humorous comic postcard from the 20th century, published by Donald McGill, captures a delightful moment of misunderstanding between a pretty young woman and a station porter. The scene unfolds on a bustling railway platform, where the young woman, dressed in a bright red dress and carrying her luggage, approaches the porter for assistance. With a determined look on her face and a hopeful expression, she asks, "Excuse me, could you tell me where I can find the YWCA?" The porter, however, with a puzzled expression and a twinkle in his eye, replies, "Certainly, madam! You'll find the WC just around the corner. It's the Women's Comfort Station." The young woman looks surprised and slightly embarrassed, realizing the porter had misunderstood her request. With a smile and a laugh, she thanks the porter and continues her search for the Young Women's Christian Association, leaving the porter chuckling to himself. This charming comic postcard, with its clever wordplay and humorous misunderstanding, is a fun and lighthearted reminder of the quirks and amusements of travel in the 20th century. The image, from Mary Evans Picture Library, is a delightful addition to any collection of vintage postcards or comic art.
