EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and humorous French postcard, created by the artist Poli in the 1920s or 1930s, depicts a scene of sailors enthusiastically exercising their jaws. The image is filled with a lively energy as the sailors, dressed in their uniforms, gather around a table laden with baguettes. The women, also dressed in fashionable attire, watch with amusement as the men eagerly chew on the bread, their cheeks bulging and jaws working in perfect unison. The comic style of the postcard adds to the playful atmosphere, with exaggerated expressions and gestures bringing the scene to life. The sailors' determined focus on their bread is a testament to their ravenous hunger, no doubt a result of long days at sea. The women, with their arms crossed and smiles on their faces, seem to be enjoying the spectacle. The postcard is a delightful example of French humor and everyday life during the 1920s and 1930s. It captures the simple pleasure of sharing a meal with loved ones and the camaraderie of the sailors as they bond over their shared experience. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of food and nourishment, especially for those who work hard and are away from home for extended periods of time. Overall, this postcard is a delightful and humorous snapshot of a bygone era.
