EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and whimsical postcard from the late Victorian era, featuring the cheerful character of Cheque from the Bank of Good Fortune's Prosperity Branch. Dressed in a smart pink suit and top hat, Cheque is seen presenting a blue cheque for the sum of "365 Happy Days" on someone's birthday. The playful scene is set against the backdrop of a quaint, old-fashioned bank branch, complete with ornate gold detailing and a vintage hourglass. As if transported straight from a fairy tale, Cheque's horse-drawn carriage waits outside, its wheels adorned with roses and ivy. The joyful occasion is further emphasized by the image of an old father, seated in the carriage, holding a scythe and an hourglass, symbolizing the passage of time and the harvest of happiness. The use of color in this postcard, with its soft pinks and blues, adds to the dreamlike quality of the image. The intricate details and the sense of nostalgia make this a delightful and unique addition to any collection. This postcard, with its spoof on banking and finance, is a testament to the enduring appeal of humor and the power of a simple, heartfelt gesture to bring joy and happiness. Circa 1890s.
