Making Arrangements for Tonight,
EDITORS COMMENTS
20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful comic postcard, hailing from the 20th century, showcases a young, pretty woman with a mischievous smile as she diligently sews frilly white underwear. The scene is set in a cozy, candlelit room, with a table laden with various sewing supplies and a blue and white striped apron adorning the woman's figure. The woman's expression suggests that she is up to something secretive and exciting, perhaps making last-minute preparations for a romantic rendezvous. The use of the phrase "making arrangements for tonight" in the title adds to the playful and suggestive tone of the postcard. The underwear she is sewing is adorned with intricate lace and ruffles, adding to the feminine and alluring nature of the image. The woman's posture and the position of her scissors in mid-air imply that she is in the middle of a project, making this postcard a charming representation of domesticity with a hint of mischief and fun. This postcard is a quintessential example of British humor and the playful, lighthearted nature of comic postcards from the 20th century. The image is reminiscent of the works of renowned comic postcard artists such as Donald McGill, who were known for their humorous and often risqué depictions of everyday life. This postcard is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face and is a delightful addition to any collection of vintage postcards or memorabilia.
