EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "My Word! Get Thee Behind Me, Temptress: A Feeble Vicar Unyielding to Pretty Girl's Charms (1910)" 2. Description: This charming comic postcard from the early 1900s captures an amusing situation involving a feeble and effete Vicar, who remains steadfastly resolute against the temptations of a pretty young blonde girl. The Vicar, with his wide-brimmed hat in hand, looks naively bewildered by her advances, while she, with a playful smirk and a large handbag, seems to be trying to lure him into mischief. 3. Context: The turn of the 20th century was an era of social change and humor, and comic postcards like this one were a popular form of entertainment. This particular postcard, with its humorous depiction of a clergyman's weaknesses and temptations, would have been a lighthearted conversation starter among friends and family. 4. Visual Analysis: The Vicar's feeble and effete appearance, with his thin frame and weak posture, contrasts sharply with the girl's youthful vitality and confidence. The wide-brimmed hat and the Vicar's upturned collar add to his comically naive and old-fashioned appearance. The girl, with her blonde curls and flirtatious expression, exudes a modern and playful energy. 5. Historical Significance: This postcard is a window into the social norms and values of the early 1900s, and it provides a glimpse into the humorous way that society viewed its religious leaders. The Vicar's feeble and effete portrayal may have been a reflection of the changing role of the clergy in society, as they became increasingly removed from the daily lives of their parishioners. 6. Conclusion: This comic postcard from the early 1900s is a delightful reminder of a bygone era, and it showcases the lighthearted and humorous way that society viewed its religious leaders. The Vicar's feeble and effete appearance, combined with the girl's playful advances, makes for a charming and amusing scene that continues to entertain and intrigue us today.
