A Hilarious Scene from a 20th Century Children's Home: A Surprised Nurse and Borrowing Babies! Step back in time with this delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, featuring a humorous scene in a children's home. The image captures the unexpected moment when a solicitor, dressed in formal attire, enters the room and attempts to 'borrow' some babies for an important case! The scene is filled with amusement as the surprised nurse, with a look of disbelief on her face, tries to keep the situation under control. The women in the background, some with babies in their arms and others in various stages of surprise, add to the fun and chaos of the moment. This charming postcard, which is not to be confused with the commercial use of the term 'McGill's Borrowing Library,' is a wonderful example of British humor from the past. It is a light-hearted reminder of a simpler time, when life's little surprises could bring joy and laughter to all. The postcard, with its intriguing and humorous scene, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in history, comedy, or the everyday life of the 20th century. It is a fun and unique addition to any collection and is sure to bring a smile to your face every time you look at it.
