> 
> A  series of world-famous saucy seaside postcards images have  been launched 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 these 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."
