Comic postcards

Written by admin on 16 November, 2009 – 8:55 pm -

The comic postcard is probably the most widely collected.  They range from satirical pieces - very subtle in their appeal, so much so that even the most cynical will be driven to titter - to the robust sauciness of the traditional British comedy postcard, thank you Donald McGill.

Davidson Bros. and (of course) Tucks were two of the very earliest publishers to showcase comedic artists.  By the list of artists they used, it seems that they had the pick of the London Sketch Club.  Comic postcards signed by the likes of Phil May, Tom Browne, Will Owen and Harry Rountree, to name but four are all desirable and priced accordingly.

Several other publishers, notably Millar & Lang, Stewart & Woolf and C. W. Faulkner (again, amongst others) published some very fine comic postcards by a great number of artists.   As well as the two themes mentioned above, there is humour in sport, motoring, jovial policemen, holiday topics and of course, drinking.
