> A SERIES of world-famous saucy seaside postcards images is being relaunched today to mark their 100th anniversary.
> 
> Businessman Ian Wallace said he is hoping the classic cheeky cartoons, which could soon be appearing on everything from mouse mats to boxer shorts, will give everyone a light-hearted boost in times of economic gloom.

> Mr Wallace, aged 63, bought the firm Bamforth & Co nine years ago and now owns the rights to more than 50,000 of the postcard images with their pneumatic women, henpecked husbands and voluptuous nurses.

> In 1870 James Bamforth began his business in Holmfirth, near Huddersfield, West Yorkshire - a village now most famous for being the setting of the long running BBC comedy Last Of The Summer Wine.
> He was a portrait photographer who later specialised in lantern slides. But it was the saucy postcards, launched in 1910, which sealed his firm`s reputation.

>  
> Mr Wallace said: "They always look good and they always make people smile.
> "Maybe they`re not to everyone's taste but if you can`t laugh at Bamforth postcards what can you laugh at?
> "They are classic images which have really stood the test of time."
