Additional details:

This postcard is quite far from what we know as English humour, marked by fine irony. What do we mean by saucy seaside postcards? The name was coined for cards featuring risqué images and innuendo. These often include images of figures scantily clad and in precarious positions. Many of these designs would not be deemed appropriate today and even at the time, as we will discover, people questioned their impact on the morality of their audience.  

Pedro, Fitzpatrick, Chas, Quip, L.B. Martin, Maurice, Ajw, Trow, Donald McGill were all an English graphic artists for seaside, risqué, comic satire, humour 
whose names has become synonymous with the genre of saucy postcards,
particularly associated with the seaside (though they were sold throughout the UK).
This cards mostly featured an array of attractive young women,
fat old ladies, drunken middle-aged men, honeymoon couples and vicars.
Many artists behind the designs were influenced by the one who has been called 'the king of the saucy postcard',
Donald Fraser Gould McGill (28 January 1875 - 13 October 1962)

'Saucy Postcards' are often collected and appreciated for artistic skill,
its power of social observation and earthy sense of humour.
Even at the height of fame top artists only earned three guineas a design,
but by the 2000s original artwork could fetch thousands of pounds.
