EDITORS COMMENTS
A rollicking good time at 'The Soldiers' Farewell' concert in the 20th century! This comic postcard captures the jovial moment as a dapper singer, donning a smart tuxedo and a confident smile, serenades an enchanted audience of men and women. The double entendre title of the event, 'The Soldiers Farewell,' adds a playful twist to the scene. The soldier in the front row, with a knowing grin, seems to be enjoying the conversation between the singer and the audience more than the actual performance. The soldier in the back row, however, appears to be completely oblivious to the verbal banter, engrossed in the lyrics of the song. The platform stage is set with elegant decorations, creating an intimate and cozy atmosphere for the evening's entertainment. The singer, with his microphone in hand, is in his element, chatting and singing, effortlessly engaging the crowd. This postcard, published by renowned British humorist Donald McGill, is a delightful reminder of the lighter side of music and entertainment in the 20th century. With its clever use of words and visual humor, it is sure to bring a smile to your face and a chuckle to your heart.
