Two Women Talking About Pubs
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming and humorous comic postcard from the 20th century, published by the renowned British company, Donald McGill. The image captures the essence of two middle-aged, frumpish women engaged in animated conversation on a bustling street, each carrying a shopping bag. The caption above their heads reads, "There's twenty-seven pubs in this town and I ain't been in one of them! - Fancy, now! Which one is that?" The women's expressions and body language suggest a sense of surprise and confusion, as if they have misunderstood each other's words. The ambiguous double meaning of the phrase "which one is that?" adds to the comedic effect, leaving the viewer wondering if they are referring to a specific pub or if they are simply expressing disbelief that one of them has never been to any of the town's twenty-seven pubs. The comic postcard's humorous tone and use of entendre make it a fun and lighthearted addition to any collection. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting the viewer back in time to a simpler, more carefree moment in history. Whether displayed in a frame or sent as a greeting card, "Two Women Talking About Pubs" is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who appreciates a good laugh and a bit of British humor.
