The Unusual Nap - A Scottish Tale
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful 20th-century comic postcard, we find an amusing scene unfolding by the tranquil waters of a Scottish loch. Two ducks paddle serenely, their reflection shimmering on the still surface. But what's this? A sleeping Scotsman, clad in full traditional attire, complete with kilt, sporran, and tartan, lies sprawled on the grass, a stone's throw away. The man, with a pipe clenched between his teeth and a wee dram in hand, seems oblivious to the quacking duo. His comically exaggerated snore echoes through the crisp, mountainous air. The ducks, seemingly unfazed, continue their peaceful routine, while the viewer can't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation. This charming postcard, reminiscent of the works of renowned Scottish humorist, Donald McGill, captures the essence of Scottish culture and humor in a single, whimsical image. It's a snapshot of a bygone era, where laughter and lightheartedness could be found even in the most unexpected places. The postcard's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to the picturesque landscapes of Scotland. Whether displayed as a decorative piece or sent as a greeting card to a friend, this comic postcard is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.
