1913 OSPERA WI Dutch Girl Postcard - "If you vere de stamp..." Humorous. This charming vintage postcard from 1913 features a whimsical illustration of a character in traditional Dutch attire, complete with clogs and cap, holding what appears to be a stamp. The humorous sentiment, "If you vere de stamp und I vas der card, den I vould happy be und you'd be stuck on me," is written in a playful, phonetic style, adding to its unique appeal. The black and white artwork captures the quaint innocence of early 20th-century postcard designs, making it a delightful piece of ephemera. The reverse of the postcard reveals a clear OSPERA, WIS. postmark dated November 5, 1913, and bears a U.S. Postage 1 Cent George Washington stamp. It was sent to Mrs. Grace Peck in La Farge, Wisconsin, and features a handwritten message from "Eva." The card was published by Walker's Post Card Shop, Rochester, a notable producer of postcards from that era. This collectible piece offers a glimpse into early 20th-century communication and humor, appealing to collectors of Wisconsin memorabilia, Dutch culture, and vintage comic postcards.
