EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming and humorous snapshot of love and courtship in the 20th century, as depicted on this vintage comic postcard from Glasgow. The young, pretty woman in a flowing dress and parasol sits demurely on the bench, while her beau, a dapper young man in a smart hat and jacket, attempts to win her heart with a romantic gesture. The cliffs and sea in the background add to the idyllic setting. But as they exchange glances and whispers, the double entendre of the scene becomes apparent - the man's hand on the woman's knee suggests more than just a simple squeeze, and her exaggerated sighs and coy smiles hint at the playful banter and lies that often accompany the early stages of romance. This delightful postcard, reminiscent of the works of Edwardian comic artists such as Donald McGill, is a fun and lighthearted reminder of the enduring power of love and the playful nature of courtship.
