Feel free to write if you have any questions. Discover a charming piece of early 20th-century humor with this vintage postcard, featuring a delightful cartoon illustration. The image depicts a determined man, adorned with a jaunty cap and striped shirt, diligently climbing a tall red ladder alongside a brick building. Perched atop his head is a brimming bucket, possibly filled with building materials, and a tiny companion, perhaps a monkey or another character, adds a whimsical touch to the scene, seemingly helping or observing his ascent. The card's title, "Working his way up," perfectly encapsulates the lighthearted ambition and industrious spirit of the era, making it a wonderful example of comic art from a bygone time. This collectible printed postcard showcases the distinctive aesthetic of the early 1900s, characterized by its vibrant, hand-colored appearance and detailed line work. The reverse side features the classic divided back format, designating separate spaces for correspondence and address, along with a stamp box indicating postal rates of one cent for United States and Canada, and two cents for foreign destinations, placing its origins squarely in the golden age of postcards. This unposted card offers a glimpse into the everyday humor and artistic styles that captivated audiences over a century ago.

  2. Excellent seller. The vintage postcard of the USS America is exactly as described with fast shipping, sturdy, protective packaging and a great value for the price! Especially since the ship is now a fish habitat and no more photos or post cards will ever be made of her again! Thank you for providing these keepsakes at affordable prices!
