EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on this delightful 20th-century comic postcard! Behold the plump, jolly woman in her striped sailor uniform, basking in the sun at the seaside. With a peaked cap perched atop her head and a wide, smiling face, she seems to be having the time of her life. But, as with many things in life, there's more than meets the eye. This double entendre image, reminiscent of the classic British humor of Donald McGill, is a playful take on the sailor suit trend that swept through fashion in the early 20th century. The woman's full figure and the title "Women in Blue" add a humorous twist to the naval theme. The pink and blue stripes of her uniform are a perfect match for the summer holiday vibe, and the skirts of her sailor trousers billow in the breeze as she enjoys a day at the beach. Whether you're looking for a lighthearted addition to your collection of vintage postcards or simply a reminder of the joy and fun of the seaside, this comic postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face. So come on in, the water's fine, and let the good times roll!
