A Splash of Fun - The McGills' Unforgettable Seaside Adventure
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, the McGill family eagerly makes their way to the seaside, despite the pouring rain. The father, donning a striped jumper and a determined expression, leads the way, his rain-soaked trousers rolled up to keep the water out. His wife, a stylish woman in a raincoat and hat, follows close behind, her arms wrapped protectively around their young children and a baby in a pram. The children, bundled up in raincoats and boots, look excited rather than dismayed at the unexpected weather. Even the baby seems to be enjoying the adventure, gurgling contentedly as raindrops trickle down the windows of the pram. The family's suitcases and umbrellas are scattered around them, adding to the chaotic scene. The husband's hat is askew, and his tie is blown back by the wind. The promenade railings provide a stark contrast to the wet and wild scene unfolding before them, as the family's enthusiasm for their holiday remains undeterred by the rain. This charming postcard, reminiscent of the works of famous British comic illustrators like Donald McGill, captures the essence of a family's determination to make the most of their summer holiday, no matter the weather. The rain may have dampened their clothes, but it certainly hasn't dampened their spirits!
