EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen! Witness the marvel that is the Edinburgh Exhibition Flip-Flap Invitation - a comic postcard from the 20th century that's sure to tickle your funny bone! This delightful postcard, featuring a playful scene of a Scottish man and woman encountering each other at the Edinburgh Exhibition, is a prime example of the humorous and light-hearted designs produced by the renowned Scottish publisher, Donald McGill. As you flip the card over, prepare yourself for a double entendre that's as clever as it is amusing. The woman's exclamation, "Oh, I do declare, I've met the most scotchingly handsome man!" is matched only by the man's response, "Aye, lassie, and I've found my kilted prince charming!" The charming illustrations, reminiscent of the Edwardian era, showcase the unique charm of Scotland and its people. With their expressive faces and exaggerated body language, these characters invite us to imagine the romantic encounters that may have taken place at the Edinburgh Exhibition. The flip-flap design adds an element of surprise and fun to this already entertaining postcard. It's a clever use of verbal play and visual humor that continues to delight collectors and history enthusiasts alike. So, take a ride down memory lane and join in the laughter as we celebrate the enduring appeal of this delightful piece of Scottish comic history.
