A Night of Unbridled Indulgence - The Plump and Plucky Pair,
EDITORS COMMENTS
Circa 1918 This delightfully humorous comic postcard, featuring a couple in bed, hails from the rollicking 1910s and is a testament to the playful, lighthearted spirit of the era. The image, brought to us by the renowned British satirical artist, Donald McGill, showcases a plump and contented couple, each with a satisfied smile on their faces, as they indulge in a night of rest and relaxation. The man, with his round, jovial face and rosy cheeks, lies on his back, his ample belly protruding from the bed, while the woman, equally voluptuous, rests her head on his chest, her arms wrapped around him in a loving embrace. The scene is further enhanced by the intricate details of the bedroom, with its ornate bedspread, plush pillows, and elegant lampshade casting a warm, inviting glow over the couple. The humor in this postcard lies not only in the exaggerated portrayal of the couple's size but also in the subtle, witty details that McGill includes, such as the couple's matching nightcaps and the mischievous expression on the man's face as he gazes at his wife. The caption, "A Night of Unbridled Indulgence: The Plump and Plucky Pair," encapsulates the essence of the image, highlighting the couple's joy and contentment in their shared moment of relaxation and togetherness. This charming, humorous postcard is a wonderful reminder of the lighter side of life in the 1910s and the enduring appeal of a good laugh. Whether displayed in a collection of vintage postcards, used as a unique and personal greeting card, or simply enjoyed for its own sake, this image is sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who appreciates a bit of whimsy and fun.
