EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this hilarious comic postcard from circa 1910, capturing a moment of pure surprise and suspicion. The scene depicts a middle-aged housewife standing on a coastal street in Yorkshire, shawl draped around her shoulders, as she explains to a bemused policeman the shocking news that her husband has returned home sober.
The expression on the housewife's face is priceless - disbelief mixed with a hint of suspicion. Could it be true? Has her husband truly given up his drunken ways? Or is there something more sinister at play here? The policeman's raised eyebrow suggests he may have some doubts himself.
This postcard perfectly captures the humor and absurdity of everyday life in early 20th century Britain. It reminds us that even in times gone by, people found joy and laughter in the most unexpected places.
So take a trip down memory lane with this delightful print by Grenville Collins from Mary Evans Prints Online. Let yourself be transported to a simpler time when sobriety was cause for celebration and suspicious wives kept their eyes peeled for any signs of mischief.
