EDITORS COMMENTS
A Hilarious Encounter: The Middle-aged Spinster and the Doctor at the Riviera! (Comic Postcard, 20th Century) Step back in time with this delightful, humorous comic postcard from the 20th century, featuring a middle-aged spinster and a doctor in an unexpected situation. The scene takes place in the tranquil setting of the Riviera, where our frumpy, frumpish spinster, with her thin, disheveled hair and drab clothing, lies in bed, looking rather uncomfortable. Enter the doctor, a dapper, mustachioed gentleman, who, with a determined expression, pulls back the bed covers to take the spinster's pulse. The spinster, clearly taken aback, looks up at the doctor with a mixture of surprise and annoyance, while the doctor, oblivious to her discomfort, focuses intently on his task. This comic postcard, reminiscent of the works of renowned British illustrator Donald McGill, is a testament to the lighthearted and playful humor of the 20th century. It pokes fun at the stereotypes of middle-aged, unmarried women and doctors' visits, creating an amusing and entertaining moment that is sure to bring a smile to your face. So, let this charming postcard transport you to a bygone era, where humor and whimsy reigned supreme, and enjoy the antics of this unlikely duo in their Riviera rendezvous!
