EDITORS COMMENTS
Putting on Weight at the Seaside" is a classic comic postcard from the 20th century, showcasing the humorous side of summer holidays and the infamous struggle many of us face when it comes to maintaining our figure during beach vacations. The image features a portly gentleman, dressed in a striped blazer and a prominent belly, happily arriving at the seaside station with an oversized suitcase labeled "Extra Weight." As he steps off the train, he is greeted by a group of thin, surprised men in bathing suits, who look on in disbelief as their friend grows even bigger before their very eyes. The man himself seems unfazed by the transformation, sporting a cheerful grin on his face and a look of pure delight in his eyes. This comically exaggerated scene is a nod to the common experience of indulging in rich, calorie-laden foods and lazy days spent lounging in the sun during summer holidays. The use of humor and lightheartedness makes this postcard a fun and relatable addition to any collection, reminding us that even the most enjoyable experiences can come with a few extra pounds. The postcard is a charming example of British humor and features the distinctive style of the renowned graphic artists Donald McGill and his team at the famous British postcard publisher, Faulkner Brothers. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the illustrations make this a must-have for anyone with a love for nostalgia, humor, or simply a good laugh. Whether you're reminiscing about past vacations or looking forward to your next one, this comic postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face and a chuckle to your day. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the lighter side of life with "Putting on Weight at the Seaside.
