EDITORS COMMENTS
A Merry Band of Bottoms: Six Striped Surprises at the Seaside! (20th Century) This delightful comic postcard, hailing from the rollicking era of British seaside humor, presents a playful scene of six women in swimsuits, each one leaning over the railings of a seaside promenade. Their cheerful expressions and the vibrant colors of their striped swimsuits add to the lighthearted atmosphere. But, as the title suggests, there's a bit more to this image than meets the eye! The double entendre in the title, "A Merry Band of Bottoms," is a clever play on words, as the term "bottoms" can refer to both the lower part of the body and the derriere. This humorous twist adds an extra layer of amusement to the scene, making it a perfect souvenir for a summer holiday or correspondence between friends. The women in this postcard come in all shapes and sizes, with some plump and others slim, emphasizing the inclusive and celebratory nature of the seaside experience. Their youthful energy and the joyful setting of the seaside scene make this a truly charming and fun addition to any collection. This postcard, with its comic charm and cheeky title, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the British seaside tradition and the power of a well-placed pun!
