Isaiah's Double Entendre - A Little Girl and Her Teddy Bear
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful 20th century comic postcard features a young girl, with a puzzled expression on her face, holding a teddy bear aloft for inspection. The bear, named Isaiah, appears to be engaging in a bit of mischief, as his eyes seem to be looking in different directions - one upwards, the other downwards. The caption above the image reads, "Isaiah's eyes are higher than his shoulders - but why?" The humor in this postcard lies in the double meaning of the phrase "higher than his shoulders." On one hand, it can be taken literally, as Isaiah's eyes are indeed higher than his shoulders when the girl is holding him up. But the phrase also has a more figurative meaning, implying that Isaiah is telling a tall tale or making a false claim. The image is reminiscent of classic British humor, with its playful use of language and visual puns. The little girl, dressed in a simple dress and apron, looks like a typical visitor to a seaside resort, making this postcard a charming reminder of a bygone era. The use of a teddy bear as the subject adds to the whimsical and lighthearted tone. Overall, this postcard is a fun and humorous addition to any collection, and is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who appreciates a good verbal joke or a bit of wordplay.
