Vintage comic postcard showing two men stuffed into a brass bed, their oversized feet sticking out over the rail. The printed message riffs on the cramped lodgings: “Fred passed a remark about the size of my feet, but there isn’t much in it, is there?” Published by Bamforth & Co., Series No. 1250. Unused, divided back with ornate B&Co design. A perfect example of Edwardian humor in postcard form.
