Original Donald McGill comic postcard published by the Inter-Art Co., London, from the "Two-Eight-One" Series, No. 286. The illustration depicts a Scottish soldier in kilted uniform having his kilt mischievously pulled by a donkey, with the caption:
"Leave Aff, Lassie – Dinna Ye See Here's the Colonel Comin'!!"
The postcard was posted in 1917, retaining its original King George V halfpenny stamp and handwritten message. A classic piece of wartime British humour by one of the country's most collected postcard artists.
An excellent addition to collections of Donald McGill postcards, WW1 military memorabilia, Scottish-themed ephemera, or antique comic postcards.
