EDITORS COMMENTS
A Chortle-Inducing Scene of Lodgers and Landlady: Carving the Poultry, Early 20th Century (Mary Evans Prints Online) Step back in time to an era of quirky humor and everyday life with this delightful comic postcard titled "Lodgers and Landlady - Carving the Poultry." This charming, humorous image, dating back to the early 20th century, depicts an amusing scene between a middle-aged, unattractive landlady and her lodgers. The landlady, dressed in an apron and with a stern expression, stands at the head of the table, wielding a large knife, ready to carve the poultry for her lodgers. The men, all dressed in suits and hats, sit around the table, looking rather bored and uninterested in the conversation. Their expressions range from impatient to disengaged, as if they would rather be anywhere but at the dinner table. The landlady, seemingly oblivious to their disinterest, continues to carve the bird with a determined expression, while the men exchange glances and roll their eyes. The caption at the bottom of the postcard reads, "Mr. Smith: 'Another blast, Mrs. Jones!' Mrs. Jones: 'Plymouth Rock, hard as a rock!'" This comical scene, reminiscent of the works of Donald McGill, is a testament to the British sense of humor during the 20th century. It captures the essence of boredom and the mundane, turning it into a light-hearted and entertaining moment. The use of the poultry as a symbol of endurance and toughness adds to the humor, making this postcard a fun and collectible piece of history.
