EDITORS COMMENTS
A Hilarious Misunderstanding at the Seaside Inn! (Chauffeur and Seaside Landlady, Early 20th Century) This delightfully humorous postcard, published by the renowned British firm, Donald McGill, captures the essence of comedic misunderstandings and double entendres that were popular during the early 20th century. The scene depicts a middle-aged, frumpy landlady standing in the doorway of her seaside boarding house or hotel, giving instructions to a dapper, confused chauffeur. The chauffeur, with a puzzled expression on his face, holds a hat and a pair of goggles, while the landlady, wearing an apron and a stern expression, points to a room number above his head. The caption below the image reads, "Booked this room for my mistress. I thought you said 'mistress'!" The humor in this postcard lies in the double meaning of the word "mistress," which can refer to both a woman's maid or a lover. The chauffeur's mistake and the landlady's stern response add to the comedic effect, making this postcard a fun and lighthearted reminder of the past. This charming postcard is a great example of the playful and often risqué humor that was popular during the early 20th century in Britain. It is a reminder of a time when a simple misunderstanding could lead to hours of laughter and amusement.
