Bamforth Comic Postcard – “Is the Wind Troubling You, Lady?” – 1927 - Vintage

A wonderfully cheeky vintage comic postcard from Bamforth's popular comic series.

The colourful illustration shows a lady sitting in church, surrounded by fellow members of the congregation. The caption reads:

“IS THE WIND TROUBLING YOU, LADY?”
“I'M AFRAID IT IS, VERGER, BUT I'LL BE ALRIGHT WHEN THE ORGAN STARTS!”

A classic example of the mischievous double-entendre humour found on early twentieth-century comic postcards.
