EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Humorous Stroll by the Sea with Buttons the Ankle-Biter Bulldog This charming comic postcard, dated back to the 1920s, captures the playful spirit of a gentlemen's day out at the beach with his mischievous bulldog companion, aptly named Buttons. The image, from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, is a delightful example of the humorous and lighthearted nature of early 20th-century popular culture. The scene unfolds as two well-dressed, smartly attired gentlemen take a leisurely stroll along the sandy shore. One man, with a cane in hand and a thoughtful expression on his face, walks ahead, while the other, with a bemused look, follows closely behind. The reason for the amused expression becomes apparent as the trailing gentleman's trouser leg is bared, revealing a small, determined bulldog named Buttons, who clings tenaciously to the man's ankle. Buttons, with his expressive, wrinkled face and piercing eyes, seems to be enjoying his game of "catch the hem" far too much. His jowls are stretched wide in a grin, and his tail wags excitedly as he bites onto the fabric. The man, though initially surprised, appears to take the situation in stride, a twinkle in his eye as he shakes his head in good-natured exasperation. The image is a testament to the enduring bond between man and dog, and the joy that a faithful companion can bring, even in the most unexpected moments. The humorous caption, "Why do you call your dog, BUTTONS? Owner - Because its so often attached to TROUSERS," adds to the lightheartedness of the scene and the overall appeal of this delightful postcard.
