EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, gentlemen and ladies, and welcome to the hilarious scene at this 1918 tailor shop! In this charming comic postcard, a plump customer, with a mischievous grin, proudly tries on a pair of trousers that are far too small for him. The double meaning of the situation is not lost on the tailor and his assistant, who exchange knowing glances and stifle their laughter. The tailor, brandishing a pair of oversized scissors, looks ready to make some adjustments, while the assistant, with a roll of fabric in hand, seems to be suggesting a more drastic solution. The women in the background, peering in through the shop window, can't help but chuckle at the scene unfolding before them. This delightful postcard, with its humorous take on everyday life, is a perfect reminder of the lighthearted spirit of the 1910s. So next time you're in need of a good laugh, take a look at this scene in the tailor shop - it's sure to bring a smile to your face!
