Fifty Weeks Labour and Fourteen Days Swank!
EDITORS COMMENTS
- a humorous 1930s comic postcard by Grenville Collins that playfully pokes fun at the contrasting realities of work and leisure. The image depicts a weary, sweat-drenched shopkeeper, still packing parcels in his shop long after the usual closing hour. His brow is furrowed, and the piles of brown paper and string suggest the endless grind of employment. Juxtaposed with this scene is a dapper gentleman, dressed in his finest attire, strolling along the pier at a seaside resort. He exudes an air of pompous relaxation, puffing on a cigar and surrounded by admiring ladies. The caption beneath the image reads, "Fifty Weeks Labour... and Fourteen Days Swank!" This comical postcard captures the essence of the 1920s and 1930s, where the struggle for survival during the workweek was followed by a much-needed break for rejuvenation and enjoyment. The humor lies in the exaggerated contrast between the two scenes, making it an entertaining and fun piece that continues to resonate with audiences today. The postcard's intricate details, from the shopkeeper's disheveled appearance to the gentleman's elegant attire, add to its charm and appeal. The use of black and white tones further emphasizes the nostalgic feel of the era. Overall, "Fifty Weeks Labour and Fourteen Days Swank!" is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, showcasing the importance of balance between work and play.
