A Hearty Laugh at the Coronation: A Large Gentleman's Double Ticket to the Royal Event, 20th Century (Comic Postcard) This delightful comic postcard from the 20th century captures the spirit of fun and enjoyment surrounding the coronation of a British monarch. The image features a large, plump man, dressed in a suit and hat, proudly displaying two Coronation tickets. The double ticket, a clever play on words, is an entendre that adds to the humor of the postcard. The man's jovial expression and the Union Jack flags in the background add to the patriotic theme of the card. His broad smile and the double seat next to him suggest that he is looking forward to sharing the special occasion with a companion. The double meaning of the ticket also adds to the visual pun, making this postcard a true gem of British humor. The large man's size and the double ticket also add an element of surprise and amusement. The use of a large man as the subject of the postcard was a common theme in comic postcards of the era, adding to the overall fun and lightheartedness of the image. This postcard is a great reminder of the joy and excitement surrounding royal events in Britain and the unique sense of humor that has long been a part of the country's cultural heritage. Whether you're a history buff, a collector of comic postcards, or simply looking for a laugh, this charming postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face.
