The listing, ANTIQUE 1904 POSTCARD The Schoolmarm TEACHER CARICATURE has ended.
Up for bid is a vintage 1904 postcard by R. Hill, "The Schoolmarm". It is an undivided back, unused, but does have the proper postage affixed.
She thinks she's so wise none can fool her
Or further in knowledge can school her;
But, the truth to impart,
She makes the boys smart
By briskly applying a ruler!
Caricature postcards were very popular in the early 1900s, and this one was a caricature of a strict teacher. Card is in very good condition for being over 110 years old. Minor discoloration is the main fault.
Nice card for your antique postcard collection!
This will ship in a first class envelope which carries no tracking, so be sure you are in agreement with that method of shipping before you bid. I have been packing postcards and paper items this way for 16 years with only one problem in all that time. However, I will not be held responsible for damage caused by the USPS.
