I can't find any of the listed things, but I keep seeing other things that aren't meant to be there such as a double bass.
ReplyDeletewhat a great list! :)
ReplyDeleteYou need a good imagination to see anything. Non-pc these days - the black man riding a mule!
ReplyDeleteToo Wild!!! What an imagination to come up with that list of hidden images. Were these postcards common back in the day???
ReplyDeleteI could come up with puzzles just as wild...The mule one cracks me up. :)
ReplyDeletethis is insane ;-) fascinating post...and i have NO idea what an evaporated pie preparation might be!
ReplyDeleteChristine,
ReplyDeleteThese cards were popular in in the late 1800s. Most of them were black and white and more sophisticated than this one, which is to say that the picture actually looked like something.
Debs, I am guessing that evaporated pie filling was probably similar to today's Jell-O pudding mixes.
It really is an interesting card.
ReplyDeleteLove it! :)
ReplyDeleteHasllo Christine,
ReplyDeleteich hab heute deine absolut umwerfende Karte bekommenm. Die ist ja ganz phantastisch und ich freue mich nun dein Gesicht zu kennen.
Ich fand übrigens den Briefumschlag schon ganz toll mit dem Flugsaurier "air mail"stempel und diesen großartigen Briefmarken.
Die Katherine Hepburn Marke ist super. Sie ist eine meiner Lieblingsschauspielerinnen.
Ich wünsche dir und deinem Mann einen schönen 4. Advent.
Janine
What a fascinating trade card. Never seen anything like that before.

It's great to know that insanity seems to be timeless...
ReplyDeleteHow very strange. I have to say I really like the colors on the card but I certainly don't find any of hidden images. What size is the original? Are we seeing a larger than original version on our computer screens? If so the people who received this card in 1890 must have had excellent eyesight!
ReplyDeleteCrazy, huh! Definitely a unique postcard.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen a card like this. Very interesting!
