Man Behind Bars: A Humorous Peek into the Quirky World of Picture Postcard Collecting in the 20th Century! Step right up, folks! Gather 'round and feast your eyes on this delightfully offbeat comic postcard titled, "Man behind bars - In the Asylum - picture postcard collecting." This charming piece of 20th-century humor invites us to take a playful, lighthearted look at the world of picture postcard collecting. Our man in the foreground, with a twinkle in his eye and a mischievous grin, proudly displays his impressive collection of postcards pinned to the wall behind him. But what's this? The collection seems to have a peculiar theme - all the postcards depict men in various stages of confinement: some in prison, others in asylums. The man's attire only adds to the amusing scene - he's dressed in a striped jumpsuit reminiscent of a prison uniform, complete with a belt and a padlock. The bars on the window and the pole with a pole-top flag complete the prison-like atmosphere. But fear not, dear reader! This man is not a disturbed inmate, but rather a passionate collector. His enthusiasm for his quirky collection is evident in the gleam of his eyes and the proud, slightly manic expression on his face. The postcard's title, "In the Asylum," adds a touch of whimsy and intrigue to the scene. The word "asylum" often conjures up images of madness and mental illness, but in this context, it seems to refer to the world of picture postcard collecting - a place where one can freely indulge in their passion, no matter how peculiar it may seem to others. So, let us all take a moment to appreciate the absurdity and delight in the quirks of this comic postcard, created by the brilliant mind of Donald McGill. This humorous snapshot from the 20th century reminds us that sometimes, the most interesting collections are the ones that defy convention and bring a smile to our faces.
