The Unfortunate Angler
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Humorous Comic Postcard from the 20th Century, Mary Evans Picture Library This delightful comic postcard, titled "The Unfortunate Angler," is a classic example of British humor from the 20th century. The image depicts a man standing proudly with an exaggeratedly long line of fish hanging from his rod. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that not a single one of these fish is actually on the line. Instead, the man is holding a line filled with an assortment of shellfish, starfish, and other marine life. The humorous juxtaposition of the man's boastful pose and the reality of his empty line is a common theme in fishing-themed humor. It's a gentle reminder that sometimes, the stories we tell can be more entertaining than the truth. The man's expression of triumphant satisfaction, despite the obvious deception, adds to the fun and lightheartedness of the scene. This postcard, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a perfect representation of the British seaside summer experience. It captures the essence of a day spent at the beach, with its mix of sunshine, laughter, and good-natured teasing. The comic postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of humor and the simple pleasures of a day spent by the sea. The artist of this postcard is not identified, but it is reminiscent of the work of Donald McGill, a well-known British postcard artist who is famous for his humorous and often risqué seaside postcards. This particular postcard, however, is a more subtle and lighthearted example of his work, making it a charming addition to any collection.
