EDITORS COMMENTS
A Hearty Laugh at the Seaside: A Plump Man's Donkey Ride Adventure, Early 20th Century (Image Ref: MEPO112201) Step back in time to the early 20th century and join us for a rollicking good time at the British seaside. This charming comic postcard captures the essence of summer holidays and the simple pleasures of a day at the beach. In the foreground, a plump, jovial man in a red swimsuit and straw hat clings tightly to the reins of his donkey, his face a picture of determination and delight. His boyish companion, dressed in a striped red and white costume, looks on in amusement, perhaps a little envious of the donkey ride. The sandy beach stretches out behind them, dotted with sunbathers and holidaymakers enjoying the sun, sea, and sand. The clear blue waters of the English Channel gently lap at the shore, adding to the idyllic scene. But this isn't just any donkey ride. Our plump hero's mount, with its comically exaggerated features, seems to be having as much fun as its rider. Its large, expressive eyes and wide grin suggest a sense of mischief and enjoyment. This humorous postcard, likely produced by the renowned American publisher Donald McGill, is a testament to the joy and laughter that could be found in simple moments at the seaside. It's a reminder that no matter the size or shape of our bodies, we can all find enjoyment in the simple pleasures of life, like a donkey ride on the beach.
