Two Drunkards on a Train - A Hilarious Misadventure from the 20th Century (Mary Evans Picture Library, Ref - MEPL/1012525)
EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful comic postcard, titled "Two Drunkards on a Train," takes us back to a bygone era of mishaps and merrymaking. The image, dated from the 20th century, depicts two gentlemen, clearly inebriated, seated in a train compartment. Their disheveled appearance and confused expressions speak volumes about their recent escapades. The first man, with a bottle in hand and a bewildered look on his face, seems to be trying to decipher a bill or a ticket. His companion, sprawled across the seat, is fast asleep, oblivious to the world around him. The scene is further enhanced by the train station in the background, with its billboards and advertisements, adding to the overall sense of chaos and humor. This humorous postcard is a classic example of the British sense of humor, with its gentle mockery of two unfortunate gentlemen who have had one too many. The misreading of the bill, the confusion, and the drunken stupor of the men are sure to bring a smile to anyone's face. The image, reminiscent of the works of Donald McGill and the like, is a testament to the enduring appeal of comic postcards and their ability to capture the essence of human folly. The "Two Drunkards on a Train" postcard is a fun and lighthearted addition to any collection, and a great conversation starter. It is a reminder of a time when life was perhaps a little simpler, and a good laugh could be found in the most unexpected places. So, sit back, relax, and let the antics of these two drunkards on a train bring a smile to your face.
