20 Postcards That Harken Back To A Quainter Period In British Sexism.

The saucy seaside postcard is as British as fish and chips, Kiss Me Quick hats and deckchairs that you could never set up properly. In other words, they are a staple part of a British holiday tradition that has long gone, as people venture out to more exotic foreign climes.

While the tradition dates back to the 1950s when artist Donald McGill was prosecuted under obscenity laws for his rather tame postcards, the heyday of these cards was the 1970s, when they were found by the dozens in every seaside souvenir shop across Britain. The cards reflected the double-entendre obsessed British comedy of the era from Carry On to Confessions, Are You Being Served to Benny Hill.
