EDITORS COMMENTS
"A delightful 20th-century comic postcard captures the whimsical moment of a woman at the seaside being 'swept off her feet' in more ways than one! The playful scene unfolds as a dapper gentleman in uniform, complete with a brush and broom, appears to be 'sweeping' a woman off the promenade railings and into the sea. But fear not, for this is no ordinary sweeping man, but rather a cleverly disguised fortune teller, who no doubt has a double meaning in mind. The woman, dressed in her Sunday best, looks shocked and surprised as her feet leave the ground, her expression a perfect blend of shock and amusement. The man, with a mischievous grin, holds on tight as they both seem to be in for an unexpected adventure. This charming British postcard, reminiscent of the iconic Donald McGill postcards, is a delightful nod to the humor and lightheartedness of the seaside holiday experience. The image, filled with double entendres and verbal play, is sure to bring a smile to the face of any viewer, no matter the age or generation." This comic postcard is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, filled with humor, fun, and a touch of the unexpected. The woman, the man, and the sea all come together in a scene that is at once playful, surprising, and quintessentially British. Whether you're a fan of the seaside, comedy, or simply looking for a moment of joy and laughter, this postcard is sure to deliver.
