1. Title: A Humorous Sleepover: Comic Postcard Shop Window Display with Bed This delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, captured by Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases an amusing shop window display featuring a bed. The scene is set on a bustling British street, where two shops, each with their unique charm, compete for attention. On the left, a quirky shop window boasts an array of comic postcards, with one particular card drawing the eye. The card depicts a man and a woman lying in a bed, both with exaggerated, wide grins. The woman, dressed in a pretty red dress, playfully covers her face with a pillow, while the man, in a suit, reaches out to place a hand on her knee. The caption reads, "Donald McGill's Double Entendre," a nod to the British humorist known for his saucy and humorous postcards. Across the street, a second shop window adds to the scene with a demonstrator, dressed in a similar red dress, kneeling beside a bed. She holds up a notice, inviting passersby to "Try Before You Buy." The demonstrator's expression is serious, yet her position and the title of the shop, "Beds," add a humorous double meaning to the scene. The two shops and their displays create a fun and lighthearted atmosphere, inviting laughter and intrigue from the crowd. The comic postcard in the window serves as a clever advertisement, drawing in potential customers with its entendre and playful humor. The scene is a testament to the power of British wit and the enduring appeal of a good laugh.
