A Blustery Day at the Seaside
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming comic postcard from the 20th century, featuring a British couple at the seaside on a windy day, is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era. The image, from The Donald McGill Archive Collection, captures the fun and humor that was synonymous with these popular postcards. The woman, dressed in a frilly summer dress and stockings, clings to her hat as the wind attempts to blow it away. Her legs are revealed as her skirt billows around her, adding to the playful and lighthearted tone of the scene. Her companion, a man in suspenders and a boater hat, steadfastly holds on to her arm, trying to keep her grounded in the face of the wind. The couple's expressions are priceless, with the woman looking determined to keep her composure while the man seems amused by the situation. The straw boater hat on the man's head is also being blown about, adding to the chaos of the scene. This postcard is a perfect representation of the British seaside holiday experience, where the unpredictable weather could turn a simple walk along the beach into an adventure. The humorous depiction of the couple's struggles against the wind is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. The use of bold colors and exaggerated features adds to the comic effect, making this postcard a must-have for any collection of vintage British humor.
