EDITORS COMMENTS
, Early 20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful and humorous postcard, dated back to the early 1900s, captures the playful spirit of a man and a woman engaging in a friendly game of football at Turnham Green, London. The man, dressed in a typical Edwardian outfit, complete with a flat cap and a scarf, is seen making a determined run towards the goalpost, while the woman, donning a frilly blue dress with a petticoat and an underskirt, is shown in a state of surprise as she falls backwards, having been kicked by an unseen boy or man off-frame. The other man, also in Edwardian attire, looks on in amusement, with a boy in the background adding to the scene's merriment. The signpost in the background, with its quaint design and the "Turnham Green" inscription, adds to the nostalgic charm of the image, transporting us back to a simpler time. The humor in this postcard lies in the unexpected turn of events, as the woman, who is not typically associated with the rough and tumble of football, finds herself in an unexpected yet graceful tumble. The playful banter and camaraderie between the participants make this postcard a delightful and lighthearted addition to any collection. This charming and humorous postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of football and the joy it brings to people of all ages and genders. It is a reminder that even in the most unexpected circumstances, a good laugh can bring people together and create cherished memories.
