EDITORS COMMENTS
"Title: If the Wind Had Only Blown the Other Way! (Older man with pretty woman on the beach, 20th century) This delightfully humorous comic postcard from the 20th century, published by Donald McGill, captures the essence of a classic British seaside holiday. The older man, dressed in a smart suit and hat, is shown trying to enjoy a peaceful day at the beach with a pretty young woman. However, the mischievous wind has other ideas! The woman's cloche hat and stockings are blown up revealing her legs, leaving the man looking rather embarrassed. Her surprised expression and the man's exasperated look add to the light-hearted and fun atmosphere of the scene. The couple's body language and the playful caption, "If the wind had only blown the other way!", add to the humorous tone of the postcard. The seaside setting, with the clear blue sea and sandy beach in the background, further emphasizes the carefree and enjoyable nature of the holiday. The older man and the pretty woman's outfits, typical of the era, add to the nostalgic feel of the image. Overall, this comic postcard is a charming and amusing representation of a bygone era, and a reminder of the simple pleasures of a day at the beach."
