Title: "A Slumbering Surprise at Weston-Super-Mare's Hidden Inn!" Caption: In this delightfully quirky and humorous postcard from the 20th century, we find ourselves at the bustling seaside resort of Weston-Super-Mare, where the sun, sea, and sand are not the only attractions! This charming scene depicts a rather unexpected sight - a group of men and women, all fast asleep on the grand staircase of an unassuming hotel or boarding house. The thin, frumpy woman in the foreground, dressed in her best frump attire, seems to be the last one to notice the commotion. She looks surprised and slightly amused as she wakes up her snoring companion, a man with a thin mustache and a suitcase by his side. The other men and women, all with their luggage scattered around them, continue to slumber peacefully, oblivious to the world. This comic postcard, reminiscent of the iconic Donald McGill postcards, brings a touch of humor and nostalgia to the classic British seaside holiday experience. The cuddled-up figures on the stairs, with their luggage and suitcases, create a scene that is both funny and endearing, inviting us to imagine the stories behind their slumbering forms. As the sun sets over the horizon, the weary travelers find rest and comfort in the most unlikely of places - the grand staircase of a Weston-Super-Mare hotel. This postcard is a testament to the simple pleasures of a British holiday and the unexpected joys that come with it.
