The Large Lady's Hiking Adventure
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Humorous 20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, features a large woman enthusiastically embarking on a hiking expedition. Dressed in hiking shorts and a backpack, she proudly carries a "packet" on her back, with a knowing smile on her face. The double entendre of the word "packet" adds a touch of humor to the scene, as it can be interpreted as both a hiking term for a lightweight load and a colloquial term for something else entirely. The woman's ample figure is depicted in a positive and empowering way, challenging societal norms of what a hiker should look like. Her determination and joyful expression convey the message that physical fitness and exercise are for everyone, regardless of size or shape. The rolling hills and scenic landscape in the background add to the sense of adventure and exploration. This postcard is a charming example of British humor from the 20th century, reminiscent of the works of famous comic postcard artists such as Donald McGill. The playful use of language and visual puns make it a fun and entertaining collectible for anyone with a sense of humor and a love for the great outdoors.
