EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightfully humorous Comic German postcard from the 1900s depicts an overweight man emerging from a mud bath at a health spa, surrounded by a group of amused onlookers. The man, with a broad grin on his face, is being hosed off by a fellow patron, the water cascading down his body in a spray, as he basks in the therapeutic mud. The wooden tub, filled with thick, dark mud, sits in the center of the scene, a testament to the popular belief in the healing properties of mud baths during this era. The man's rotund figure and the exaggerated expressions of the bystanders add a lighthearted touch to the image, making it a charming reminder of the quirks and joys of early 20th century health and wellness practices. The card's age and unique comic style transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and a moment of amusement in the present.
