EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and witness the hilarious encounter between a determined rent collector and a mischievous sailor in this early 20th century comic postcard! In the heart of Edwardian England, the stern rent collector, dressed in his formal attire and carrying a ledger and book, approaches a group of sailors, no doubt to collect overdue rent. But little did he know, he'd be met with a playful challenge from this daring sailor in navy uniform. With a mischievous grin, the sailor raises his fist, ready for a friendly sparring match. The other sailors look on in amusement, some covering their mouths in laughter, while the rent collector looks shocked and taken aback. This comical scene is a testament to the lighter side of life in the early 1900s, where even the most mundane tasks could be turned into a fun and entertaining moment. This postcard is a delightful reminder of the humorous moments that once filled our history and continues to bring joy and laughter to us today.
