Alas, my poor brother!
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A charming and humorous 20th-century comic postcard featuring a Teddy bear soldier in full Scottish regalia, complete with a bearskin hat, tears streaming down his furry face, and a heartfelt expression of sadness. Dressed in a tartan kilt, sporran, and holding a box rifle, this adorable bear soldier embodies the spirit of camaraderie and melancholy often associated with the military. The playful use of the classic Shakespearean phrase "Alas, poor Yorick" adds an unexpected and delightful twist, making this postcard a must-have for anyone with a sense of humor and a soft spot for teddy bears. This whimsical image, reminiscent of the works of renowned comic artists like Donald McGill, is sure to bring a smile to the faces of friends and family. The bear soldier's mournful expression, combined with his military uniform and Scottish regalia, creates a unique and endearing contrast that is both fun and funny. Whether displayed on a desk, framed on a wall, or tucked into a greeting card, this postcard is a delightful reminder of the lighter side of life. The intricate details of the bear soldier's uniform, from the folds of his kilt to the straps of his rifle, showcase the skill and craftsmanship of the artist. The muted colors and soft focus of the photograph add to the nostalgic and timeless feel of the postcard, making it a cherished keepsake for collectors of vintage memorabilia and comic art. So, take a moment to appreciate the humor and whimsy of this Teddy bear soldier in mourning, and let the laughter and memories wash over you.
