The Pick of the Post: A Delightful Discovery by Puppies in a Ridgways Tea Advertisement, Circa 1909 In this charming turn-of-the-century postcard advertisement for Ridgways Tea, a group of young and playful puppies can be seen making some intriguing discoveries while the postman's back is momentarily turned. The postman, seemingly captivated by the allure of a pretty housemaid, is oblivious to the mischief unfolding behind him. The scene is set in the bustling world of postal deliveries. The postman, dressed in his traditional uniform, is seen pushing a barrow laden with parcels and mail, while the playful puppies, with their curious and inquisitive nature, are rifling through the parcels and causing havoc. The hamper at the bottom of the image is filled with Ridgways Tea packages, adding to the overall theme of the advertisement. The puppies' discovery is a delightful sight, as they explore the world around them and make the most of the unexpected opportunity. Their playful antics, from tasting the tea leaves to chewing on the packaging, are sure to bring a smile to the viewer's face. This advertisement, with its light-hearted and playful tone, is a testament to the enduring appeal of puppies and the joy they bring to our lives. The historical context of the image, with its turn-of-the-century setting and traditional postal delivery scene, adds an extra layer of intrigue and charm. In conclusion, this postcard advertisement for Ridgways Tea is a delightful glimpse into the past, showcasing the playful antics of puppies and the bustling world of postal deliveries. It is a reminder of the simple joys in life and the enduring appeal of a good cup of tea.
