EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming and humorous 20th century comic postcard captures the excitement and anticipation of a young boy as he waits by the front door for a special letter to arrive. The illustration, by renowned British comic artist Donald McGill, depicts a little boy dressed in a red sweater and shorts, peering out from behind the screen door with a hopeful expression. His eyes are fixed on the horizon, as if willing the postman to appear over the hill. The postman, a stock character in McGill's work, is shown in the distance, delivering mail to a neighboring house. The boy's dog, a loyal companion, sits at his feet, also keeping a watchful eye out for the postman. The quirky and whimsical style of McGill's artwork adds to the lighthearted and fun atmosphere of the scene. The title of the postcard, "Little Boy Expecting a Letter from Someone Special," adds to the sense of anticipation and excitement. This delightful postcard is a wonderful reminder of the simple joys of childhood and the thrill of receiving a letter from a loved one.
