EDITORS COMMENTS
'Its raining' - A Humorous Comic Postcard from the 1900s This charming and amusing comic postcard, dated back to the early 1900s, depicts a whimsical scene of two boys enjoying a rainy day in an unconventional way. The card's background is set against a picturesque cliffside landscape, with the heavy rain pouring down, creating a yellowish hue that adds to the playful atmosphere. In the foreground, we see a couple huddled under an umbrella, shielding themselves from the relentless downpour. However, their attention is drawn towards two mischievous boys, who are not letting the rain dampen their spirits. Instead, they are seen urinating off the edge of the cliff, with delightful expressions on their faces, as if they are partaking in a secret game. The rainwater collects in puddles below them, creating a natural 'shower' effect. The humour in this postcard lies in the boys' naughty behaviour, which was a common theme in comic postcards during this era. The image pokes fun at the idea of misbehaving and mischief, making it an entertaining piece of ephemera from the past. The card's design is simple yet effective, with bold lines and exaggerated expressions that add to its comedic appeal. Despite its light-hearted nature, this comic postcard also serves as a snapshot of a bygone era, providing a glimpse into the cultural norms and social behaviours of the early 20th century. It is a reminder of the simple joys and amusements that people found in everyday life, even in the most ordinary of situations, like a rainy day.
