The Blame Game" - A Humorous Take on Childbirth Anxiety in the Edwardian Era This charming comic postcard, dated back to the 20th century, captures the innocence and playful banter between a little boy and his mother on the doorstep of their humble abode. The scene is set in the Edwardian era, with the mother, dressed in her best floral apron and bonnet, looking worried and anxious, while her son, clad in short trousers and a knitted jumper, sits casually on the doorstep, seemingly unfazed by the impending arrival of a new sibling. The humor in this postcard lies in the caption that reads, "Father's Fault!" The boy, with a mischievous grin, points an accusing finger towards his father, who is nowhere to be seen, suggesting that the mother's pregnancy is the result of his father's negligence. The playful blame game between the mother and son adds a light-hearted touch to the anticipation and apprehension of childbirth. The postcard is a beautiful representation of the domestic life in the early 1900s, with the quaint doorstep, the mother's traditional attire, and the innocence of the children. It is a reminder of the simple joys and the little moments of humor that can be found even in the most anxious and uncertain times. This comic postcard, with its humorous take on childbirth anxiety, is a delightful addition to any collection of vintage postcards or memorabilia. It is a fun and light-hearted reminder of the past, and a testament to the enduring power of humor to bring joy and laughter to our lives."
