EDITORS COMMENTS
A Humorous Take on Fatherhood: Father of Twins Shaving, Early 20th Century, Mary Evans Picture Library This delightful comic postcard, titled "Father of Twins Shaving," captures the essence of new fatherhood with a touch of British humor. The scene unfolds in a cramped bathroom, where a dapper father, donning a striped shirt and bowtie, attempts to shave in the mirror while simultaneously managing the needs of his two curious and mischievous twin babies. The father's expression conveys a sense of exasperation and amusement as he tries to focus on his shaving routine, while the twins, dressed in diapers and bonnets, seem determined to make the situation more challenging. One baby reaches up to grab the razor, while the other playfully splashes water from the basin. A young woman, likely a nurse or midwife, stands by, observing the scene with a smile and a hint of amusement. A servant or maid, seen in the background, waits patiently with a towel, adding an extra layer of humor to the chaotic scene. The use of a cutthroat razor and soap adds to the comical element, as the father's shaving routine is anything but routine with the twins around. The father's caption below reads, "Master, I'll have to wait," emphasizing the unexpected interruptions that come with the joy of having twins. This charming postcard, produced by the renowned British company Donald McGill, is a fun and lighthearted reminder of the unexpected challenges and joys of new fatherhood. The use of humor and clever visual storytelling makes this postcard a beloved piece of early 20th-century popular culture.
