Here are the backs of the cards in the same order.

Ideas are O.K. Size 10 1/2 (all black). Thermometer crawling slowly upward. This is a picture of a "suffer-yet" Dutch Lady (Old Dutch Cleanser)
If you have a class reunion remember me to everybody. I could spend two months very profitably visiting you. As it is I'm going back where I was born so long ago and expect everyone to know me from the family resemblance. Clara Parker

I probably should post some more Christmas postcards this week too.
ReplyDeleteOh I am curious about the second card, to the Grimes person in Grand Meadows is it? In Minnesota. Don't think I've ever heard of that town, now I have to look it up. I really like these shadow cards, and in the first card he has a huge foot, unless it's for a she and then they are really big size 10 1/2? Back then! Thanks for brightening my morning with especially the little boy in green (he's like a young Robin Hood!)
ReplyDeleteAnother style of postcard I hadn't seen before! I wonder if the writer of the first postcard is having a 'dig' at suffragettes with the 'suffer-yet' comment, but as I don't know about suffragette movements overseas, then I don't know.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, interesting 'floating' compositions, and the shadows make them almost appear animated.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen any cards like this -- love the shadows.
ReplyDeleteIt's of interest to me how these old cards were used long ago much as we use email and texting wit online media these days.
ReplyDeleteMakes delightful reading.
Thank You!

Very amusing!
ReplyDeleteGreat postcards and great messages!
ReplyDeleteUnusual, and very sweet. I like the shadow play. I bet it was a dig at suffragettes!
