EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightfully humorous 20th-century comic postcard captures the playful banter between an engaged couple as they prepare for their upcoming nuptials. The image features a young, dapper man in a suit, leaning over a table with a serious expression, as he points to a drawer filled with undergarments and says, "I'll take care of the bottom drawer." The pretty, young woman sitting across from him, wearing a frilly, floral dress and holding a fan, responds with a coy smile, "Oh, I'll leave that to you, dear. But be warned, my trousseau is full of double meanings!" The man, clearly unfazed by her teasing, reaches for a pair of suspenders and quips, "Well, I'm ready for any challenge that comes my way." The woman playfully rolls her eyes and playfully swats him on the arm, as the caption above reads, "Engaged! And already the jokes begin." This charming comic postcard, reminiscent of the classic British humor of Donald McGill, is filled with innuendo and clever wordplay. From the man's reference to the "bottom drawer," a traditional place for a married woman's lingerie, to the woman's reference to her "trousseau," a collection of clothing and household items a bride brings to her husband's home, this postcard is a fun and lighthearted take on the excitement and anticipation of a young couple's engagement. Whether displayed as a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era or as a conversation starter in a modern home, this comic postcard is sure to bring a smile to the faces of all who see it.
