I've Just Arrived" - A Hilarious Comic Postcard from the 20th Century This delightful comic postcard, titled "I've Just Arrived," is a classic example of British humour at its best, showcasing a young woman's comedic misadventure as she arrives at the seaside. The scene is set at a train station, where our heroine, dressed in her Sunday best, is struggling to carry her oversized luggage down the steep station steps. As she reaches the bottom, she takes a triumphant pose, only to have her husband, who is standing below, exclaim, "I thought you said you were only bringing a change of clothes!" The surprised expression on her face as she looks down at her luggage, which seems to have multiplied since boarding the train, is priceless. Meanwhile, a group of men and women on the platform can't help but chuckle at the spectacle, adding to the lighthearted atmosphere. In the background, a man in a striped shirt and cap looks on in amusement, while a woman in a hat and gloves covers her mouth to stifle a giggle. This charming postcard, which is reminiscent of the works of famous comic illustrators like Donald McGill, is a fun and humorous take on the classic theme of arriving at the seaside for a holiday. With its vivid colours and lively characters, it's sure to bring a smile to anyone's face, no matter how many times they've seen it."
