EDITORS COMMENTS
A Charming Snippet of Humor from the 20th Century: 'Comic Postcard, Woman Talking about Marriage. He said it would be like the Garden of Eden' Step back in time with this delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, featuring a pretty young woman in an apron and pinafore, engaged in a lighthearted conversation with a man off-frame. The caption above her head reads, 'He said it would be like the Garden of Eden when we were married. So it is - nothing to wear and expecting to get kicked out any minute!' This humorous image is a classic example of British humor from the mid-1900s, with its nod to the traditional roles of housewife and husband, and the playful twist on the biblical tale of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The woman, with a broom in hand and a thoughtful expression on her face, seems to be sharing a secret with the viewer, as if to say, 'Marriage isn't always as idyllic as they make it out to be!' The postcard, which bears the signature of the renowned American comic artist Donald McGill, is a testament to the enduring appeal of humor and the human experience. With its charming illustration and witty caption, it invites us to reflect on the joys and challenges of marriage, and to appreciate the humor in the everyday. Whether displayed in a collection of vintage postcards or used as a conversation starter, this comic postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face and a laugh to your day.
