I've Just Arrived
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Hilarious 20th Century Comic Postcard of a Young Woman's Dramatic Seaside Arrival This charming and comically exaggerated postcard, titled "I've Just Arrived," captures the essence of a young woman's seaside holiday adventure in the 20th century. The image, created by the renowned British comic postcard artist Donald McGill, showcases a pretty and young woman in her Sunday best, precariously balancing a large suitcase and an umbrella on the steep station steps. Her expression is one of determination and slight anxiety, as she attempts to navigate the challenging descent with grace. Beside her, a group of amused men and women look on, some with hands shielding their laughter, while others lean in to offer assistance. One man, with a smirk on his face, seems to be enjoying the scene a little too much. The woman's companion, a dapper man in a hat and suit, stands at the bottom of the steps, looking equally surprised and amused. The luggage at the woman's feet, seemingly about to tumble down the steps, adds to the comedic element of the scene. The chaotic scene at the seaside station is a common theme in McGill's work, and this postcard is a perfect example of his ability to capture the humor and excitement of a holiday getaway. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the illustration bring the image to life, transporting us back to a simpler time when a seaside holiday was an exciting and unforgettable experience.
