Socially Superior - Two Women
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Comic Postcard, 20th Century) This delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, published by the renowned British satirical artist Donald McGill, captures the essence of humorous banter between two women from different social classes. The image showcases two women, one middle-aged and frumpy, the other young and elegant, engaged in a playful conversation. The frumpish woman, with her large shopping bag and unkempt appearance, confidently declares, "We're off to the theatre tonight, dear," to which her tall, posh companion replies, "Oh, how delightful! I do so enjoy a good programme." The double entendre in the posh woman's response is not lost on the frump, who smirks knowingly, acknowledging the upper-class lady's assumption that they will be attending a theatrical performance, while they are actually planning a night at the cinema. The comic postcard's clever use of wordplay and social commentary is a testament to McGill's ability to capture the nuances of British humour and the intricacies of class differences. The contrast between the two women, their body language, and their conversation, adds to the overall fun and light-heartedness of the image. This charming postcard is a reminder of a bygone era, where a simple conversation between two women could be a source of amusement and entertainment, and where the art of verbal wit and entendre reigned supreme.
