Piglets at Lunchtime - A Delightful Scene of Rural Life from the 20th Century This charming comic postcard, titled 'Piglets at Lunchtime,' transports us back to a simpler time in the countryside. The scene is set on a quintessentially British farm, where a mother sow, dressed in an apron and a headscarf, is lovingly feeding her adorable piglets through the bars of a fence. The playful piglets, with their chubby cheeks and curly tails, are eagerly reaching out for their milk, their eyes closed in blissful enjoyment. The humanised animals in this comic postcard add a whimsical touch to the rural setting. The mother pig, with her maternal instincts on full display, is reminiscent of a doting human mother, while the piglets' antics and appetite are relatable to anyone who has ever been a child. The use of the fence adds a sense of security and order to the scene, while also highlighting the contrast between the human world and the animal kingdom. This postcard, created by the renowned British comic artist Donald McGill, is a delightful invitation to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of country life. The humorous and light-hearted tone of the artwork makes it a perfect request for a friend or family member, inviting them to join in the joy and laughter that this scene evokes. Whether you're a fan of animals, comedy, or just looking for a pick-me-up, this Piglets at Lunchtime postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face.
