EDITORS COMMENTS
A Hearty Welcome and a Squeeze for Good Measure: A 20th Century Comic Postcard from the British Seaside This delightfully humorous postcard, titled 'Holidaymaker and landlady - Marina Boarding House Date: 20th century' by an unknown artist, captures the essence of a classic seaside holiday misunderstanding. The scene unfolds on the doorstep of the Marina Boarding House, where a flustered landlady, dressed in her best apron and cap, extends a warm welcome to her new guests. The holidaymaker, a dapper gentleman with a suitcase in hand, looks rather taken aback as she gives him an enthusiastic squeeze, much to the amusement of the crowd gathered behind him. The double entendre of the situation is not lost on the artist, who cleverly uses visual puns to add to the comedic effect. The landlady's expression and the title of the postcard, 'Marina Boarding House', suggest that she may have misunderstood the holidaymaker's intentions, leading to this comical moment. The use of the word 'squeeze' in the title also adds a playful, verbal wink to the scene. This postcard is a charming reminder of the light-hearted, fun-loving spirit of British seaside resorts in the 20th century. The artist's use of color, composition, and humor make this a must-have for any collection of vintage postcards or comic art.
