EDITORS COMMENTS
A Hilarious Snapshot from the Past: Old Family Seat, 20th Century Step back in time with this delightfully humorous comic postcard from the 20th century, featuring an unexpected scene from the life of the old aristocracy. The image showcases a double wooden toilet seat, proudly displayed on the wall of a quaint, rustic bathroom. But what makes this seemingly ordinary object so intriguing is the unexpected company it keeps. Seated on the left side of the seat is a portly, middle-aged man, dressed in a waistcoat and holding a cigar, while on the right, a surprised and shocked woman, also of middle age, covers her eyes in horror. The use of exaggerated expressions and body language adds to the comedic effect, making this postcard a true gem of British humor. This comic postcard, with its clever double meaning and entendre, is a testament to the playful and lighthearted nature of 20th-century popular culture. The image invites us to ponder the unexpected twists and turns of life, even in the most mundane of settings. A delightful surprise for any collector of vintage postcards or those with a penchant for the absurd and the amusing, this charming piece is sure to bring a smile to your face and a chuckle to your day.
