Two ice skaters - one falling over
Quite from Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare: " He does it with better grace, but I do it more natural."
The perfect accompaniment to this humorous cartoon postcard depicting a suave gent with an up-turned pencil moustache skating elegantly across a frozen lake, while his slightly less-adept male chum fals flat on his back. Two stylish women spectators view the scene with undoubted amusement.

EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming and humorous turn of events unfolds on this vintage postcard from the Grenville Collins Collection, as two ice skaters grace the frozen lake in an elegant display of wintertime athleticism. The suave gent, with an up-turned pencil mustache and poised posture, glides effortlessly across the ice, embodying the grace and poise of a seasoned skater. His companion, however, takes a more natural approach to the sport, tumbling unceremoniously onto his back in a less-than-graceful display. The two stylish women spectators, bundled up against the cold, cannot help but chuckle at the scene unfolding before them. This delightful moment is reminiscent of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, where Viola and Olivia exchange witty banter over their differing approaches to love: "He does it with better grace, but I do it more natural." This whimsical image captures the essence of the human experience - the beauty in our imperfections and the joy in sharing a laugh with those around us.
