EDITORS COMMENTS
A Humorous Take on Fishing and Faith at the Seaside, 1955 This delightful comic postcard from 1955, published by Donald McGill, captures the essence of British humour during the summer months. The image portrays a man in a striped jumper and trousers, sitting on a seaside rock with a fishing line in one hand and a prayer bottle in the other. His expression is one of deep concentration, as if he's trying to decide which will bring him the greater reward: a big catch or a divine intervention. The humour in this postcard lies in the juxtaposition of the man's two activities, fishing and praying, which might seem contradictory at first glance. But in the 1950s, this was a common theme in British seaside humour. The man's bottle labeled 'Truth' adds to the amusing scene, suggesting that perhaps he's seeking a truthful answer from the sea gods. The postcard's vibrant colours and cartoon-like style bring a sense of fun and lightheartedness to the scene. The man's fishing line is taut, indicating that he might have already caught something, while the sun setting in the background adds to the idyllic seaside setting. This postcard is a charming reminder of the simple pleasures and quirky humour of the British seaside in the 1950s. Whether you're a fan of comic postcards, British humour, or just looking for a bit of nostalgia, this image is sure to bring a smile to your face.
