1909 V. Colby Puppy and Kitten Vintage Art Postcard 'Haven't Got The Nerve'. This charming 1909 vintage postcard features a delicate pencil-style illustration by artist Vincent V. Colby, depicting a puppy and a kitten side by side with the caption "HONEST, I HAVEN'T GOT THE NERVE." The artwork captures an endearing, nostalgic sentiment in a soft monochrome palette, highlighting early 20th-century postcard artistry. Printed on standard 5.5 x 3.5 inch paper, this original postcard was published by Vincent V. Colby in Denver, Colorado, a known publisher from the era. The back of the postcard includes a 1-cent U.S. postage stamp and a postmark dated 1909, confirming its authenticity and period use. The card's layout is typical of early divided-back postcards, with sections for correspondence and address. Its collectible appeal lies in its age, original artwork by Colby, and the sweet, timeless subject of young pets, making it a delightful addition for collectors of antique postcards, animal-themed ephemera, or early American printed memorabilia.
