EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and feast your eyes on this delightful scene from the early 20th century! Behold the pretty young woman, dressed in her finest Edwardian attire, sitting blissfully in the lush green park. But wait, what's that in her hand? Why, it's a comic postcard, of course! Take a closer look at the postcard she's holding and you'll find a humorous advertisement for "Desirable Property - Prices Reasonable." The double meaning of the phrase is sure to raise a chuckle or two. And what's that red parasol doing there? Why, it's not just for show, my dear! It's an advertisement as well! "Notice this Parasol," it reads, "Prices and Reasonable and Double the Value." But our fair maiden seems unfazed by the advertisements surrounding her. She's content to sit on the grass, enjoying the sunshine and the company of her book. And what a quaint little fence she's sitting against! It's the perfect backdrop for this charming scene. So, take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of life, as depicted in this early 20th century comic postcard. And who knows, maybe you'll find a hidden advertisement or two in the process!
