A bedraggled baby chick swaddled in a polka-dot headscarf peers out with bleary-eyed exhaustion above the caption "Worthing Is Doing Me Good — I Am Just Able To Sit Up And Take Nourishment" — a delightful Edwardian seaside comic that conceals a charming secret: pull open the card and a concertina fold-out strip of real photographic miniature views of Worthing tumbles out, including the West Parade, Marine Promenade, Pier & Bandstand, and the Steyne Gardens. This is the "Pocket Novelty Card" format published under The "Dainty" Series — a British-made novelty card format that combined comic illustration with a pull-out accordion of local RP views. The illustrated chick cartoon is by L. Biggar, a noted Edwardian comic postcard illustrator. The card was posted from Worthing to the Reverend W. D. Jones at 21 Kingswood Road, Goodmayes, Ilford, Essex, with a King Edward VII one-penny red stamp and a Worthing postmark dated July (year partially legible, c.1910). The sender, signing as E. R. Hod—, writes: "I hope all is going as well as you will notice from the other side that they are with me. Is there any news? Kind regards."
