These images are taken from a new book, Saucy Postcards: The Bamforth Collection, which celebrates the golden age of comic postcards. The Yorkshire-based publisher Bamforth & Co started producing ‘saucy’ postcards in 1910, and at the peak of their popularity 20 million were in circulation per year. The cheeky designs became synonymous with the English seaside resorts where they were sold, but they were also exported all over the world. After World War Two, Bamforth artists began to satirise the classic comic archetypes that still resonate today – henpecked husbands, naughty nurses and over-sexed milkmen. In this comprehensive showcase, a selection of more than 250 cards, originally published from the early 1950s to the mid-1970s, are reproduced in full colour for a nostalgic walk through Britain’s social history. As battles with the postcard censorship committees resulted in almost 150 prosecutions over the years, these images also raise interesting questions of censorship laws, in addition to being a unique look at changing British humour. As George Orwell said of them in 1941: “Obscene... [but] the corner of the human heart they speak for might easily manifest itself in worse forms, and I for one should be sorry to see them vanish.” To order a copy of Saucy Postcards:The Bamforth Collection by Marcus Hearn (Constable & Robinson) for £11.99 (+£1.35 p&p), call Telegraph Books on 0844 871 1514 or visit books.telegraph.co.uk
