EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "A Double Entendre on the Pavement" In this delightful and humorous 20th-century comic postcard, two young, pretty women are seen engaged in an animated conversation on a bustling British street. The setting is reminiscent of the Edwardian era, with the women wearing fashionable hats and dresses, and a red double-decker bus and pillar box adding authenticity to the scene. The women's expressions suggest that they are sharing a secret or a joke, which is further emphasized by the caption above them that reads, "Feel the Ass, and the other one feels it too!" The use of the word "ass" in this context is a clever double entendre, as it can refer both to the donkey-drawn cart in the background and to a more colloquial term. The women's body language and facial expressions add to the light-hearted and fun atmosphere of the image. One woman seems to be laughing, while the other appears to be trying to suppress a giggle. Their animated conversation and shared secret create a sense of camaraderie and connection between them. The postcard is a charming example of the use of humor and wordplay in comic art, and it invites the viewer to imagine the story behind the scene. It is a reminder of the power of conversation and the shared experiences that can bring people together, even in the simplest of moments on a busy city street.
