A Hearty Laugh at the Railway Station: A Delightful Comic Postcard from the 20th Century Step back in time with this charming and humorous comic postcard, featuring a railway passenger and station porter from the early 20th century. The scene unfolds on a bustling railway platform, where a plump, red-faced man in a smart waistcoat and striped trousers, puffs on a cigar as he holds out a suitcase for a rather portly passenger to place inside. The passenger, dressed in a reserved seat ticket and carrying an open umbrella, challenges the porter with a mischievous grin, as if daring him to lift the heavy luggage. The porter, wearing a traditional railway porter uniform, appears unfazed by the challenge, and with a twinkle in his eye, he confidently hoists the suitcase onto his shoulder, ready to carry it to the waiting train. The passenger, now looking somewhat sheepish, can't help but laugh at the porter's strength and agility. This delightful comic postcard, reminiscent of the works of Donald McGill, is a fun and lighthearted depiction of travel in the 20th century. The use of exaggerated body types and playful expressions adds to the humorous nature of the image, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage postcards or memorabilia. So, let this postcard bring a smile to your face and transport you back to a time when travel was a little more adventurous and a lot more fun!
