EDITORS COMMENTS
Hilarious 20th-century Comic Postcard: A Peek into the World of Women's Court Shoes! Step right up and feast your eyes on this delightful and humorous comic postcard featuring a woman's feet in court shoes! This charming image transports us back in time to an era when a woman's fashionable footwear was the talk of the town. The woman in this comic postcard is shown proudly displaying her tired, worn-out court shoes, with holes developing in the soles and a noticeable red mark on the heel. Her legs are clad in beige stockings, and her ankles peek out from the top of her shoes, adorned with intricate lace detailing. The caption accompanying the image reads, "Coming, Brown! I've walked a mile in these shoes!" This playful verbal jab is a nod to the common expression "to have walked a mile in someone's shoes," which means to understand someone's situation or perspective by experiencing it firsthand. This comic postcard, created by the renowned British satirical artist Donald McGill, is a testament to the quirky and lighthearted humor of the 20th century. The woman's determined expression and the exaggerated size of her feet add to the overall fun and amusing nature of the image. So, let's take a moment to appreciate this charming piece of history and marvel at the fashion trends of yesteryears. After all, who wouldn't want to take a walk down memory lane with a smile on their face?
