EDITORS COMMENTS
A Classic Comic Postcard from the 20th Century: 'Little Girl Asking for a Donkey on the Beach' This delightful comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, captures the essence of a carefree summer holiday by the seaside. The image features a young girl, dressed in a red swimsuit and sun hat, standing on the sandy beach with a determined look on her face. She is pointing towards the sea, where a donkey and its handler can be seen in the distance. The humorous twist in this scene lies in the double meaning of the girl's request. While she appears to be asking for a donkey ride, the caption beneath the image reads 'Don't you think it's time for a donkey?'. This could be interpreted as a playful comment from a mother or father, suggesting that it's time for the whole family to go home. The scene is reminiscent of the iconic British seaside holidays, where donkeys were a popular attraction for children. The postcard's use of color and simple yet expressive illustrations adds to its enduring charm. The image of the boy in the background, also dressed in a swimsuit and looking longingly at the donkey, adds an extra layer of fun and mischief to the scene. Overall, this comic postcard is a joyful reminder of simpler times and the memories we create during our holidays. It is a testament to the power of humor and the enduring appeal of the seaside.
