Another Great Auction 11th December
A collection of numerous vintage paper postcards, predominantly featuring humorous, often suggestive, early to mid-20th century cartoon illustrations. The style is consistent with British seaside or novelty postcards from the inter-war period through the mid-20th century. Each card features prominent English text serving as captions or punchlines to the images. Illustrations depict characters in period attire, such as bathing suits, kilts, and domestic wear, often with playful or risqué themes. Examples of captions include “A LITTLE BEHIND WITH MY CORRESPONDENCE!”, “I’VE LOST MY RATION CARD…”, “DO YOU WANT ANYBODY TO TEACH YOU TO SWIM?”, and “WHAT A LIFE!…I COULD LIVE AT BLACKPOOL!”. Some cards reference specific locations such as Portpatrick and Blackpool, aligning with popular comic and seaside humor of the era.
