Title: "Which Shall I Drop?" - A Classic Comic Postcard from the 20th Century In this delightfully humorous and quintessentially British comic postcard, a woman finds herself in an awkward predicament as she tries to navigate a crowded train compartment with an armful of unexpected surprises. With a toddler clinging to her skirt, a bird in a cage perched precariously on her hat, a basket of fruit balanced on her head, and a cat peeking out of a parcel, she looks at the audience with a bewildered expression, as if asking for our advice. The scene is filled with charming details that transport us back in time. The woman's elegant hat, complete with a feather adornment, contrasts with the chaos of the objects she's carrying. The train's vintage design, with its ornate railings and plush seats, adds to the sense of nostalgia. And the expression on the woman's face, a mix of amusement and exasperation, invites us to share in the fun. This postcard is a perfect example of the whimsical humor that characterized the comic postcards of the 20th century. It was likely produced by a company like Donald McGill, known for their humorous and often risqué designs. But regardless of the specific creator, this postcard remains a fun and enduring reminder of the joys and challenges of travel in a bygone era.
