Product Overview
Nice looking vintage postcard with Black Americana theme. Pictured and shipped in stiff top loader. Condition is as pictured.
This is an authentic vintage linen-era comic postcard featuring an illustrative "pickaninny" caricature theme, manufactured in the mid-20th century. The illustration depicts two stylized African American figures in a nighttime aquatic setting. The first figure, a woman wearing a red bikini and a yellow patterned headscarf, is shown stepping from a wooden dock into a large red canoe. The second figure, a man in a red and white shirt with a bowtie and straw hat, is seated in the canoe, holding a paddle with a stunned expression. The background features a large, grinning yellow crescent moon against a dark blue sky, winking at the couple.
The upper text features a standard saucy "fresh" comic caption, utilizing phonetic dialect: "I'M PREPARED IN CASE YOU GIT FRESH.....AND I HAVE'TA GIT OUT AND WALK!". This card is a variant of Tichnor Serial #200. This is an unposted (unused) example of New Old Stock (NOS). The reverse side identifies this as a "TICHNOR QUALITY VIEWS" and "A 'COLOURPICTURE' PUBLICATION", manufactured by Tichnor Bros., Inc. Boston, Mass.
