Humour was often used in Victorian Postcards to suggest simple messages.  This is one of my Raphael Tuck Postcards . One of a range of ‘Limited’ Proof editions published between 1895 and 1901.  Tucks were masters in creating what we would call ‘Marketing Hype’ in their descriptions to add prestige to these very simple publications.

They also commissioned  famous and very notable artists of that era to create works for their varied publications  collections. This is the work of the well known Victorian Caricaturist Phil May.  He enjoyed a productive but very short live, born 1864 and died in 1902.

I thought the message was possibly appropriate for a Friday with the weekend ahead… and might also give you a smile. 🙂

I hope you can enjoy your weekend and maybe get out and about…  and as always….

Please Remember ….
Stay Safe …. Be Kind…. Look After Each Other
