EDITORS COMMENTS
A Delightful Misunderstanding: Early 20th Century Comic Postcard Characters - The Perplexed Customer and the Amused Shop Assistant This charming early 20th century postcard, published by the renowned British firm, Donald McGill, captures the essence of light-hearted humor and playful misunderstanding. The scene depicts a woman, dressed in a stylish green coat with a fur trim and a matching hat, entering a shop with her child in tow. The shop assistant, a man with a mischievous grin, is holding up a pair of gloves for the woman to try on. The woman, with a quizzical expression on her face, asks, "What are these for?" The shop assistant, with a twinkle in his eye, replies, "They're for your ears, madam!" The woman looks puzzled, and the shop assistant, unable to contain his amusement, bursts into laughter. The child, not to be left out, joins in the laughter, pointing at the gloves and giggling. This double entendre, a classic comedic device, adds to the fun and whimsy of the scene. The use of pencils and ears in the background only adds to the visual humor, creating a delightful and entertaining image that is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. This postcard is a perfect example of the Edwardian era's sense of humor, which often relied on wordplay and misunderstandings to elicit laughter. The image is reminiscent of the popular Donald McGill postcards, which were known for their humorous and often risqué content. The use of humor in this postcard not only makes it a fun and entertaining piece but also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the light-hearted and playful spirit of the early 20th century.
