Man Behind Bars: A Humorous Peek into the World of Asylum Betting Systems in the 20th Century This delightfully quirky comic postcard, titled 'Man behind bars. In the Asylum - betting systems. Date: 20th century,' offers a lighthearted and amusing glimpse into the world of asylum betting systems during the 20th century. The image features a man in an asylum, sitting behind bars, with a look of intense concentration on his face as he meticulously records numbers on a piece of paper. The bars of his cell are adorned with various betting slips and betting tickets, while a pile of coins and banknotes rests on the windowsill. The man's expression suggests that he is deeply engrossed in his betting activities, oblivious to the madness and chaos that surrounds him. The asylum's door is wide open, revealing a scene of pandemonium, with patients in various states of distress, waving betting tickets and shouting numbers. A padlock and bolts are visible on the door, adding to the absurdity of the scene. This comical postcard, produced by the British illustrator Donald McGill, masterfully captures the essence of the absurd and the irrational. The use of humor to depict the seemingly mundane and everyday aspects of life in an asylum is a hallmark of McGill's work. The image is a reminder that even in the most unlikely of places, people found ways to find joy and entertainment, even in the midst of madness and chaos. The postcard is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, offering a unique perspective on the human condition and the ways in which people coped with the challenges of mental health and illness in the 20th century.
