Title: "The Clever Bank Clerk" - A delightful 20th-century comic postcard depicting a pretty young woman, her cheeks flushed with surprise and a hint of annoyance, as she discovers she's been outwitted by a cunning man at the bank counter. The man, with a mischievous grin on his face, has managed to slip three penny bits into her pile of pounds, leaving her momentarily baffled. The scene plays out at a traditional bank setting, with the woman in a pink dress and the man in a smart suit, both exuding an air of sophistication. The cashier, amused by the situation, looks on from behind the counter, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. This humorous postcard, published by the renowned British company Donald McGill, is a testament to the playful spirit of the 20th century and the simple joys of a well-executed prank." "The intricate details of the illustration show the man slipping the coins into the woman's pile, while she reaches for a note, oblivious to the trick. The woman's expression, a perfect blend of shock and amusement, adds to the overall charm of the postcard. The use of color, with the woman's pink dress standing out against the muted tones of the bank setting, further enhances the visual appeal. This comic postcard is a fun and lighthearted reminder of a bygone era, and a great conversation starter for any collection or display.
