Seaside Postcard 69: Where there's a will...

Ramsgate donkey card

Addressed to "Dear Will" from his Dad, who must have been very pleased with himself... sent in 1920 to Tooting, South London, and yes - the curvy beauty in the water does seem to have a moustache. I've looked closely, and it is printed, not just a dirty mark. Clearly there were different ideas of beauty way back when. Mind you, his wife also seems to have a moustache, so maybe the artist was just an enthusiast...
