Title: 'I Don't Want to Leave!' - A Charming Comic Postcard from the 20th Century This delightful comic postcard, dated back to the 20th century, captures the quintessential British seaside holiday spirit with its humorous depiction of a little girl's reluctance to return home from the beach. The scene unfolds on a sunny day at the seaside, where a young girl in a red dress is shown clinging to a rock, her umbrella hooked onto the nearby boulder for support. Her bucket and spade abandoned on the sand, she stares longingly at the sea, her small face etched with determination and a hint of sadness. The humor in this postcard comes from the exaggerated expression on the girl's face, her wide-open eyes and pouting lips, as if she's trying to convince the waves to carry her away. The artist, Donald McGill, was renowned for his humorous postcards, and this one is no exception. McGill's signature style, with its bold lines, vibrant colors, and exaggerated characters, perfectly encapsulates the essence of a traditional British seaside holiday. As the summer sun begins to set, the little girl's day at the beach comes to an end, but her heart remains with the sea. This charming postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of the British seaside holiday, and the simple joys of a day spent at the beach with family and friends.
