A Surprising Discovery in the Bath! (Woman with Wrong Kind of Salts, 20th Century) This delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, published by Donald McGill, captures the humorous side of everyday life with its light-hearted depiction of a middle-aged woman's unexpected experience in the bath. The scene unfolds as the woman, with a look of surprise and amusement on her face, discovers that she has mistakenly added fruit salts to her bathwater instead of the intended Epsom salts. The image is filled with visual comedy, as the woman's feet are shown submerged in a tub filled with an excess of frothy, effervescent bubbles, resembling a large, inviting glass of soda rather than a soothing bath. The woman's expression, combined with the unexpected scene before her, creates a comical moment that is sure to bring a smile to the viewer's face. The postcard's design, typical of the British humor of the time, is reminiscent of the work of Donald McGill, who was known for his humorous and often risqué postcard illustrations. The woman's modest yet revealing bathing attire adds to the playful and lighthearted tone of the image. This charming postcard is a fun and whimsical reminder of the simple joys and unexpected moments that life can bring, even in the most mundane of settings. It is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era and a testament to the enduring appeal of humor in everyday life.
