EDITORS COMMENTS
Tinker, Tailor: Sailor, a captivating vintage playing card print featuring the Sailor character from the Tinker, Tailor series. This charming image, created by Terry Parker for Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the 20th century. The Sailor, with a mischievous grin, is depicted in full naval uniform, complete with a cap adorned with a flag and a row of golden stripes. He clutches a cricket bat in one hand and a tub filled with water in the other, suggesting a playful moment during a break from his duties. The tub, however, is adorned with a skull and crossbones, adding an unexpected twist to the otherwise innocent scene. The Tinker, Tailor playing card series, which also includes the characters of the Soldier, the Cook, and the Beggar, was a popular set during the 20th century. Each character was depicted in a unique and humorous way, reflecting the spirit of the times. This print, in particular, showcases the Sailor's saucy side, with his roguish grin and the playful addition of the skull and crossbones. The intricate details of the uniform, the texture of the cricket bat, and the water in the tub all contribute to the overall charm and allure of this vintage print. It is a delightful reminder of a bygone era, when simple pleasures and a sense of camaraderie could be found even in the most unexpected places, such as a game of cricket among sailors.
