Title: "A Humorous Encounter at the Builders Merchants" This delightful comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, captures a moment of light-hearted amusement between two men outside a builders merchants. The scene is set on a bustling British street, where the sound of hammers and saws can be heard in the distance, and the smell of fresh concrete lingers in the air. At the center of the image, a man in a bowler hat and a billowing overcoat is seen holding a toilet seat and a wooden bucket. His companion, a burly builder with a cap and a smirk on his face, is leaning against the gate of the merchants, seemingly amused by the situation. The caption above the image reads, "When you're feeling under the weather, a visit to the builders merchants is just what the doctor ordered!" The humor in this postcard lies in the unexpected use of a toilet seat and a bucket, which adds an element of surprise and absurdity to the scene. The men's expressions and body language convey a sense of camaraderie and banter, making this postcard a fun and entertaining addition to any collection. The use of color and detail in the illustration, such as the red brick walls and the intricate patterns on the men's hats, add to the charm and character of the image. Overall, this comic postcard is a delightful reminder of the humorous and playful side of everyday life.
