Comic - Cute Two Cylindered Run-about


This is an early 20th century artist/signed comic postcard that I've always kind of liked.  The gal is dressed in what was probably very fashionable garb for the time - I'm sure the artist was satirizing it a bit.  The smitten boy is using some slang of the time, comparing her two what was probably considered a nice little car.  In fact there is a car in back ground, though I have no idea if it is a two cylindered run-about. 

This is artist signed by "Seward", and it has been postally used, though unfortunately I could not read the postmark.  It was addressed to a Mr. Albert Burch, of Kansas City, Missouri.
 
Update:  Sold!

  1. This is a classic example of a postcard that says so much about the fashions and language of the day. I've never seen one quite like this.

    1. I really like this postcard - it was unusual, a very good period piece, I suppose.
