A Surprising Visit - The Milkman's Delight!
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Someone at the door - only the milkman? Date: 20th century) In this delightfully humorous and light-hearted comic postcard, we find ourselves peering into the cozy world of a typical 20th-century British home. The scene is set with a woman in her pretty floral house dress and apron, her young husband in his dressing gown and slippers, both engrossed in their morning newspapers. The domestic bliss is interrupted by the unexpected sound of the doorbell. The husband, ever the gentleman, rises from his chair and heads to the door, leaving his wife to ponder the mystery of who could be calling. As he opens the door, he is met with an unexpected surprise - it's the milkman! The milkman, with his trademark white overalls, suspenders, and pipe, greets the husband with a knowing smile. The wife, who has been watching the scene unfold from the kitchen, is amused by the situation. She playfully covers her legs with the newspaper, feigning innocence as she watches her husband's embarrassment. The husband, ever the good sport, laughs it off and invites the milkman in for a chat. This charming comic postcard, reminiscent of the works of renowned British comic artists like Donald McGill, captures the essence of everyday life in the 20th century. It's a fun and light-hearted reminder of a simpler time when unexpected visitors could bring a bit of excitement and amusement into our lives.
