EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "Two Tempted Tots in the House of God" This delightful comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, showcases two mischievous children in their Sunday best, seated in a pew at church. The little girl, with her rosy cheeks and pigtails, clutches a Bible in one hand and a tempting sweet in the other. Her wide-eyed expression reveals her inner struggle between obedience and indulgence. Across the aisle, the little boy, with a mischievous grin, reaches for a bag of sweets hidden under the church hassock. His eyes dart back and forth between the forbidden treats and the disapproving glances of the other churchgoers. The children's antics are further emphasized by the caption above the image, which reads, "Donald McGill's 'Two Tempted Tots in the House of God'." McGill was a renowned British humourist and illustrator, famous for his saucy and humorous postcards. The postcard's vibrant colors and intricate details add to its charm, making it a fun and playful addition to any collection. The image is a reminder of the universal experience of childhood temptation, even in the most sacred of places. This postcard is not only a humorous take on the challenges of raising children but also a glimpse into the past, offering a lighthearted look at the traditions and customs of a bygone era.
