Title: A Charming Misunderstanding at the Concert Hall This delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, published by the renowned British humourist Donald McGill, captures the essence of a light-hearted and amusing misunderstanding between a plump husband and wife at a singer's concert. The scene unfolds as the pianist and singer prepare to take the stage, with the audience eagerly anticipating the performance. In the foreground, an obese husband and his wife sit in the front row, engrossed in a conversation. The husband, with a knowing smile, points to the pianist and quips, "Looks like she's got a large repertoire, doesn't she, dear?" Unaware of his double entendre, his wife, also plump, nods in agreement, "Yes, dear, she certainly does have a large repertoire of songs!" The husband, amused by his wife's response, chuckles to himself, while she, oblivious to the innuendo, continues to chat with her neighbor. The pianist and singer, unaware of the hilarity unfolding in the audience, focus on their preparations for the concert. This charming postcard, with its clever use of wordplay and humor, is a testament to the British sense of fun and the power of a well-timed, misunderstood joke. The image is further enhanced by the intricate details of the concert hall setting, with its grand piano, platform, and attentive audience, adding to the overall sense of merriment and amusement.
