Title: A Humorous Seaside Adventure: The Unforgettable Donkey Ride! (Comic postcard, Little child at the seaside on a donkey, 20th century) Step back in time with this delightful comic postcard, capturing the essence of a classic British seaside holiday. The image presents a young boy, sandy-footed and clutching a stick, eagerly mounting a rather reluctant-looking donkey. His brothers, equally sandy and mischievous, seem to be enjoying the spectacle, their laughter echoing in the background. The donkey, named Goatchaise, appears to be having second thoughts about the whole endeavor. His discomfort is evident in his scrunched-up face and the way he shifts uneasily under the weight of the children. The boy's expression is a perfect blend of excitement and trepidation, as he clings to the saddle, trying to maintain his balance. The scene is set against a backdrop of beautiful cliffs, the sea shimmering in the distance, and the beach stretching out before them. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the entire tableau, adding to the nostalgic feel of the moment. This charming postcard, reminiscent of the works of famous comic postcard artists like Donald McGill, is a testament to the simple joys of childhood and the enduring appeal of the British seaside holiday. So, take a moment to appreciate the humor and fun in this snapshot of a bygone era, and let the memories wash over you like the gentle waves of the sea.
