A Royal Squash - The Unintended Consequences of People Watching the Coronation,
EDITORS COMMENTS
1953 This delightful comic postcard captures the essence of the British spirit during the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. The image portrays a scene of people eagerly gathered around a crate or box, their faces pressed against it, trying to get a glimpse of the historic event. The double meaning of the title becomes apparent as we notice the unfortunate souls at the back, who have been inadvertently squashed or obstructed from view. The humor in this postcard lies in the contrast between the patriotic enjoyment of the special occasion and the physical discomfort experienced by some spectators. The plump woman in the foreground, with her determined expression and oversized hat, adds to the amusing scene. The men in the background, with their various reactions, from frustration to resignation, further emphasize the lightheartedness of the situation. This postcard, produced by the renowned American comic postcard publisher, Donald McGill, is a testament to the British sense of humor and their ability to find amusement in the most unexpected places. The use of an entendre in the title adds a layer of verbal wit, making this postcard a fun and entertaining piece of 20th-century history.
