EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph titled "I've Got The Fair Old Hump" captures a whimsical moment in time. In this early 20th-century postcard, we see a woman seated on a chair, leaning on her elbows with her head in her hands. She wears an elaborate costume complete with a bonnet adorned with ribbons. What makes this image truly unique is the exaggerated humps attached to the back of the woman's chair and also to her own back. These enormous humps add an element of absurdity and comic relief to the scene. It is as if she has taken the phrase "having a hump" quite literally! The photographer, known only as Hana, has signed this delightful postcard that showcases their creativity and sense of humor. The caption perfectly complements the image by playing on words: "I've Got The Fair Old Hump". This pun adds another layer of silliness to an already comical composition. This photograph stands out among other vintage postcards due to its grotesque yet funny nature. It reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously and find joy even in our glum moments. With its clever use of props, costumes, and captions, it exemplifies how photography can capture both beauty and playfulness simultaneously. Overall, "I've Got The Fair Old Hump" is a captivating piece that brings laughter into our lives through its imaginative portrayal of everyday objects like chairs transformed into humorous characters.
