A Surprise Visit at the Office! (Comic Postcard, Wife visits husband at his office, Date: 20th Century) This delightfully humorous postcard, titled "A Surprise Visit at the Office!", is a charming snapshot of a typical office scene from the 20th century. The image, brought to us by the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a quintessential example of British comic art and is sure to bring a smile to your face. The scene is set in a bustling office, where a young, dapper man, presumably our husband, is intently focused on his work. He sits at his desk, hunched over a ledger, with a serious expression on his face. His boss, a middle-aged, unattractive man, looks on disapprovingly from behind, no doubt keeping a watchful eye on his employees' productivity. Suddenly, the door to the office bursts open, and in walks his wife, a stylishly dressed woman with a mischievous grin on her face. The expression on her husband's face quickly changes from concentration to shock as he realizes the unexpected visitor. The caption above the scene reads, "Double Meaning!", hinting at the double entendre of the situation. The other men in the office, who have been quietly working, are also taken aback by the wife's unexpected arrival. The typist in the corner, with her hands poised above her typewriter, looks up in surprise, while the man in the background, with a book in hand, looks up from his reading, a look of amusement on his face. This postcard is a fun and lighthearted take on the everyday office life, and its humorous depiction of a surprise visit is sure to bring a smile to your face. Whether you're looking to add a touch of whimsy to your home decor or want to send a friend a laugh, this charming postcard is a great choice!
