The Great Wrestling Match - A 20th Century Struggle for a Living
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and humorous comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, depicts two determined and intertwined men engaged in an intense wrestling match. The scene is filled with a sense of fun and lightheartedness, as the men, with expressions of focus and determination, grapple with each other, their arms and legs entangled in a knot. The wrestling match serves as a metaphor for the daily struggle to earn a living, a common theme in the 20th century. The men's rough and tumble fight represents the physical and mental effort required to make ends meet, with the outcome uncertain and the stakes high. The comic postcard is a delightful reminder of the resilience and tenacity of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. The men's intertwined bodies and intense expressions convey a sense of camaraderie and shared experience, as they both strive to come out on top. This postcard is a wonderful piece of British comic art, reminiscent of the works of renowned comic artists such as Donald McGill. The intricate details and bold lines bring the scene to life, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage postcards or comic art. Whether displayed as a decorative piece or shared with friends, this postcard is sure to bring a smile to anyone's face and add a touch of humor to any space.
