EDITORS COMMENTS
- A humorous 20th-century comic postcard capturing a classic moment of British banter between a man and a shop assistant. In this lighthearted scene, a dapper gentleman, dressed in a smart tie and hat, stands at a shop counter, his arms laden with an assortment of boxes. The young, pretty shop assistant, with an amused expression, gestures towards one of the boxes, asking, "Is this the one, sir?" The man, with a twinkle in his eye and a puzzled look on his face, replies, "I'm not entirely sure, my dear. I seem to have collected quite a few by mistake." The man's legs are crossed, adding to the casual and playful tone of the interaction. The assistant, with her hands on her hips, leans forward, her eyes fixed on the man, as if trying to figure out which box belongs to him. Her expression is a mix of patience and amusement, as if she's used to such situations. The comic postcard, created by renowned British artist Donald McGill, is a delightful reminder of the simple joys of everyday life and the humorous exchanges that can occur in the most unexpected places - like a shop counter. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the illustration add to the charm of this timeless piece, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage postcards or comic art.
