Hah. I think my fave is lunch, at least I think it's the funniest, though that last one is a real contender.

Now we know where Bill Ward got his fetish!

My favorite is the lady doctor, I'm a sucker for a witch look.

Just think, this idea is the precursor of wristwatches. In fact, it predates The Wright Brothers flying machine.
A bit of cheeky humor that would not have been out of place in a seaside postcard of days gone by.

Great find as always.
