EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant comic postcard from 1908 captures a whimsical scene that is sure to bring a smile to your face. In this charming color drawing, we see a group of downhearted individuals covered in bandages, seeking solace and recovery in the picturesque town of Chichester. Pulled by an endearing donkey, an invalid carriage transports these unhappy souls through the streets as they embark on their journey towards healing. The artist's playful imagination shines through as he portrays the comical side of illness and misfortune. Despite their ailments, the characters exude resilience and determination to recoup their spirits. The dog accompanying them adds another layer of cheerfulness to the scene, providing loyal companionship during their quest for happiness. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Prints and Drawings Collection, this print serves as a delightful reminder that even in times of adversity, there is always room for laughter and hope. It encapsulates both the challenges faced by those who are unwell and the power of community support in aiding recovery
