Title: A Day at the Races: Double Trouble! Date: Early 20th Century, Mary Evans Prints Online This charming comic postcard captures the excitement and unpredictability of a day at the races, as a woman confidently places her bets with a surprised bookie. The image, titled "Double Trouble," showcases a woman in a stylish hat and coat, her eyes fixed on the racecourse with an air of determination. On her left hand, she clutches a large bill, ready to pay for her bets. The scene unfolds as she approaches the bookie, who is dressed in a sharp suit and top hat, his expression a mix of surprise and amusement as she places not one, but two bets on the same horse - both ways! The bookie, with a raised eyebrow and a quizzical look, checks his ledger, double-checking the bets to ensure he hasn't misunderstood. The double meaning of the title "Double Trouble" is an entendre that adds to the humor of the scene. The woman's bold move could either mean she's hedging her bets or she's in for twice the excitement, either way, she's sure to have a thrilling day at the races! This delightful postcard, published by Donald McGill, is a testament to the British sense of humor and love for horse racing during the early 20th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage postcards or memorabilia.
