Two Young Women in High Spirits at a Teashop Discussing the Unpredictable Travels of a Wandering Salesman This delightful comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, captures the essence of two pretty young women in the midst of an animated conversation at a quaint teashop. The scene is set in a cozy, old-fashioned café, with the women seated at a small, cramped table, their uncomfortable chairs adding a touch of humor to the image. The table is strewn with teacups, saucers, and an assortment of cakes, suggesting a leisurely teatime gathering. The women's expressions and body language convey a sense of merriment and amusement as they discuss the exploits of a travelling salesman. Their animated chatter is filled with double entendres and humorous innuendos, as evidenced by the corked bottle and mysterious 'drawers' mentioned in their conversation. The salesman's name is not mentioned, but the women's laughter and the suggestive nature of their conversation leave no doubt as to the subject of their gossip. This humorous postcard is a charming reminder of a bygone era, when simple pleasures like a cup of tea and a good chat with a friend could provide endless entertainment. The image is also a nod to the classic British humor of Donald McGill, known for his saucy and innuendo-laden postcards. With its light-hearted and fun tone, this postcard is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face.
