EDITORS COMMENTS
A Comic Turn of Events: The Bolting Gentleman (1909) In this delightful comic postcard image, a gentleman is seen in the midst of a sudden and unexpected dash from the Station Buffet. The phrase 'Bar & Bolt' takes on a new meaning in this humorous scene, as the man realizes the time and hastily abandons his light snack of pie and beer. The man, dressed in a smart suit and hat, appears to be enjoying his meal with a contented expression, oblivious to the passing of time. But as the hands of the clock seem to move with increasing speed, his countenance changes to one of alarm and determination. With a quick glance around, he grabs his hat and makes a beeline for the door, leaving behind his half-eaten pie and untouched beer. The door, which appears to have a 'Bolting' sign on it, adds to the comedic element of the scene. The man's hurried exit, reminiscent of a bolted horse, is a common occurrence in the hustle and bustle of a busy train station. The play on words in the title of this postcard, 'Comic Postcard - a play on the phrase Bar & Bolt,' adds an extra layer of amusement to the image. This charming postcard, dating back to 1909, captures the essence of the human condition - the unexpected twists and turns of life that can catch us off guard and leave us bolting from one situation to the next.
