A Day at the Seaside Gone Wrong - The Unfortunate Edwardian Lady
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightfully humorous Edwardian postcard, dated back to the early 20th century, captures the essence of a day at the seaside gone awry for an unsuspecting woman. Dressed in her finest fashionable attire, complete with a large, straw hat adorned with pink roses and a white handkerchief, she stands confidently on the deck of a small boat, waving goodbye to the shore as if embarking on a leisurely sail. However, upon closer inspection, the scene takes a comical turn as the boat, and the woman, are revealed to be in the midst of a shipwreck! The ship, a quaint and tiny vessel, is shown sinking into the choppy waters of the Channel, leaving the woman clinging to her hat as she braces herself for the impending plunge. The satirical verse on the back of the postcard reads, "Sailing in a Donald McGill, With a hat on my head so big, I've been told, I'll be the talk of the town, When my ship goes down!" This comically illustrated postcard, reminiscent of the works of renowned British satirical artist Donald McGill, is a testament to the enduring humor and lightheartedness of the Edwardian era. The large, exaggerated hat, the sinking ship, and the woman's determined expression all combine to create a fun and amusing snapshot of a bygone era. Despite the impending disaster, the woman maintains her composure and her fashion sense, making this postcard a charming and humorous reminder of the absurdities and joys of everyday life.
