1. Title: "The Milkman's Apprentice: A Tale of Unlikely Friendship" Caption: This charming comic postcard, dated circa 1918, depicts a delightful scene of a young boy in his Sunday best, diligently feeding a curious puppy from a large milk bowl. The expression on the boy's face is one of pure joy and concentration, as he pours the milk into the eager puppy's dish with great care. The puppy, with its tongue out and eyes closed in bliss, seems to be thoroughly enjoying its treat. The scene is reminiscent of the simple pleasures of rural life in the 1910s, where children and animals lived in harmony and shared the warmth of their homes and hearths. The use of humour and light-heartedness in the illustration adds to the overall charm of the postcard, making it a fun and endearing addition to any collection. The artist, Donald McGill, was known for his humorous and comic postcards, which often featured playful scenes of everyday life. This particular postcard, with its focus on the unlikely friendship between a boy and a puppy, is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of joy and innocence in a simple yet memorable way. The image of a young boy and a puppy sharing a moment of companionship is a timeless one, and this postcard is a fun and humorous reminder of the simple pleasures of childhood and the unbreakable bond between children and their pets. Whether you're a collector of vintage postcards, or simply looking for a light-hearted addition to your home decor, this charming comic postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face.
