EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and whimsical New Year postcard from circa 1906, obtained from Mary Evans Prints Online, features an amusing scene of two mice nibbling on a telegram. The card is adorned with a white and grey background, adding a touch of elegance to the playful image. The mice, one white and the other grey, are perched on top of a blue, handwritten telegram, their tiny paws delicately holding onto the paper as they enjoy their unexpected feast. The telegram, a symbol of communication and news in the early 1900s, adds an element of irony to the scene, as the mice seemingly ignore the important messages it may contain. The pre-printed design of the postcard, with its intricate details and handwritten address, adds to its vintage charm and makes it a delightful find for collectors of antique postcards and ephemera. This quirky and humorous postcard is a delightful reminder of the lighter side of life and the unexpected joys that can be found even in the most ordinary objects.
