EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful 20th-century comic postcard captures the humorous moment of a woman and two men at the seaside, engaged in an amusing misunderstanding. The image shows a woman in a striped top, sitting on the edge of a boat with her back to the viewer, while two men in boating attire are seen in the background, one with a paintbrush in hand, and the other holding a scraper. The caption above the scene reads, "Donald McGill's 'Scrape the Bottom.' The men appear to be working on the boat, but the woman seems oblivious to their presence, as she leans over to adjust her bathing suit bottom, unaware of the double entendre in the men's actions. The man with the paintbrush looks shocked and surprised, while the other, with a knowing smirk, holds up a chain and anchor, suggesting they've been caught in a suggestive position. The scene is filled with British seaside charm, with a colorful beach and a fence in the background, adding to the playful atmosphere. The comic postcard is a fun and lighthearted reminder of the summer holidays and the humorous misunderstandings that can occur when words and actions are open to interpretation.
