I've Just Arrived
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Hilarious Early 20th Century Comic Postcard This delightfully humorous comic postcard, titled "I've Just Arrived," depicts a plump, middle-aged woman in an undignified moment as she tumbles off a cliff at the seaside. Dressed in a red, frilly dress with a parasol in hand, she seems to have tripped over a clump of grass or clods, sending her tumbling down the steep cliffside towards the crashing waves below. Her shock and surprise are evident on her face as she falls, with her underwear and stockings revealing themselves to the world. The woman's awkward and undignified fall is a common theme in early 20th century comic postcards, often used to poke fun at the mishaps and misadventures of holidaymakers at the seaside. The image is reminiscent of the British seaside holiday experience, with its mix of sun, sand, and the occasional accident or mishap. Despite the woman's misfortune, the postcard's humorous tone is evident in the exaggerated expression on her face and the comically large splash she makes as she hits the water. The image is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who has ever experienced a moment of clumsiness or embarrassment during their holidays. This charming and funny postcard is a great reminder of the lighthearted and carefree spirit of the early 20th century, and is a must-have for any collection of vintage postcards or comedy memorabilia.
