EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "The Maid's Revenge" - A humorous 20th-century comic postcard depicts a mischievous maid standing outside a hotel room door, wearing a black-and-white uniform complete with pinafore, apron, and a feather duster in hand. The young woman, with a playful grin on her face, wears both boots and shoes on her feet, suggesting she's taken a pair from a forgetful guest. The caption above her head reads, "Forgetting your tips again?!" This comic postcard, reminiscent of the classic British humor, is a fun and lighthearted take on the role of hotel maids during the holiday season. The image brings to mind the stingy guests who would often forget to leave a generous tip for their hardworking maid. This comic postcard is a delightful reminder of the quirks and humor found in everyday life, and a testament to the enduring appeal of the comic postcard as a form of visual storytelling.
