About 90 in the Shade
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming comic postcard from the 1910s, depicting a humorous scene at the seaside. The image is filled with the spirit of summer and the joy of holidaymaking. In the foreground, a mischievous child, wearing a large sun hat and holding a toy sailor model, is paddling in the shallow water, with a cheeky grin on his face. He appears to be trying to splash a group of unsuspecting adults, who are sunbathing on the beach, with a large paddle. The adults, dressed in their summer best, including a man in a sailor suit, are oblivious to the child's antics, engrossed in their books and sunbathing. The sun is shining brightly overhead, casting long shadows on the sand, and the sea is calm and inviting. The scene is idyllic and full of humor, capturing the essence of a carefree summer holiday. The cartoon style of the illustration adds to the light-heartedness of the image, with the exaggerated expressions and caricatured bodies of the characters. The use of color is also noteworthy, with the bright reds and blues of the sun hat, the child's toy boat, and the sea creating a vibrant and eye-catching composition. Overall, "About 90 in the Shade" is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, full of humor and nostalgia. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures of a day at the seaside and the joy of being a child, free to explore and make mischief.
