A collection of approximately 15 printed comic postcards featuring humorous and risque seaside-style illustrations. The assortment includes vignettes of British holidaymakers, domestic mishaps, and historical caricatures. One card specifically references the British resort of Broadstairs with the caption Home soon-we’ve spent everything at Broadstairs. The illustrations utilize a colour lithographic printing process characteristic of mid-20th century ephemera. Several cards bear the printed signatures or marks of known illustrators including Taylor Tot on a card depicting a child mountain climber, Pedro on a scene featuring three women on a promenade, and the initials E.A.H. within a circular mark on a prehistoric-themed card. Subjects include seaside romance, shared bathroom mishaps, an artist and model scene, and a caveman with a dinosaur.
