EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Humorous Depiction of a Drunken Man on a Comic Postcard from the 1910s, Mary Evans Prints Online. In this vintage postcard from the early 1900s, a jovial, middle-aged man, dressed in fashionable attire of the time, is shown leaning heavily on the railings of a street, with a broad grin spreading across his face. His top hat is askew, and his overcoat is open, revealing striped trousers and spats. The man's merry expression and disheveled appearance suggest that he has had a bit too much to drink. The image, titled "I'm Coming Home, Drunk as a Lord!", is a humorous representation of the era's attitude towards alcohol consumption. The man's posture and demeanor convey a sense of merriment and carefree spirit, rather than the negative connotations often associated with drunkenness today. The setting of the postcard is a quiet, dimly lit street, with pavement and cobblestones visible in the foreground. The man's position and the perspective from which the photo is taken create a sense of intimacy and personal connection, as if the viewer is sharing in the man's moment of revelry. This charming postcard, which dates back to the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past and provides a reminder of the more lighthearted and carefree times. It is a delightful addition to any collection of vintage postcards or memorabilia, and a conversation starter for those interested in social history and the evolution of attitudes towards alcohol consumption over the years.
