Buyer's premium:

A collection of approximately 25-30 vintage humorous postcards, many in the style of Donald McGill. These postcards primarily feature humorous, romantic, and sometimes suggestive illustrations, characteristic of late Victorian to early 20th-century cartooning. The depictions include caricatures of people in various social settings such as seaside resorts, domestic scenes, and public life. Themes and fashion suggest the period from approximately 1900 to 1920s, with specific references like “munitions work” and locations such as “Blackpool.” English captions include phrases like “I GUESS THIS IS YOU,” “WILL YOU,” “I shall remember your kisses when you have forgotten my name,” and “NOTICE ALL WORKERS ON MUNITIONS WILL WORK ON SHIFTS.” Printed on cardstock.
