Donald Fraser Gould McGill was an English graphic artist whose name has become synonymous with a whole genre of saucy seaside postcards that were sold mostly in small shops in British coastal towns.

He has been called 'the king of the saucy postcard', and his work is collected and appreciated for his comedic artistic skill, and earthy sense of humour.
