EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful snapshot of mid-century British humor, this charming comic postcard titled "Coy secretary answers boss" captures the playful banter between a coy secretary and her middle-aged boss in an office setting. The scene is set at a cluttered desk, with stacks of papers and a typewriter in the background, while the secretary, with a demure smile, answers a question from her boss with a suggestive wink and a coquettish response. The boss, a portly man with a puzzled expression, seems taken aback by her answer, adding to the humor of the situation. The postcard, published by the renowned British humorous postcard company, Donald McGill, is a testament to the light-hearted and often innuendo-laden humor that was popular in the 20th century. The postcard's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. The postcard was likely sold in convenience stores, postal districts, or on the bustling streets of Oxford Street, making it a fun and affordable way for people to share a laugh with friends and family. The "Coy secretary answers boss" postcard is not only a humorous piece of art but also a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the social norms and cultural nuances of mid-century Britain. Its timeless humor continues to resonate with audiences today, making it a beloved collectible and a must-have for anyone with a sense of fun and a fondness for the past.
