A vintage black and white photo card.  Interesting young ladies in elaborate dresses and fans.  Sisters, perhaps.

Snowy Scene

A chilly scene - it's cold here today and snowy in much of the country.  I thought this one was fitting.

The print on the back says:

Axel Eliassons Konstforlag, Stockholm.

Big Fish

These Whoppers Snap at Anything

Part of a genre of outrageously sized things (fruit, animals, vegetables, etc).  These add a little levity to the day.

Don't let Monday bite you in the.........!

A very interesting black and white photo postcard with Penguins, a huge sea lion and an amazed zoo keeper.  (This zoo was open from 1874 - 1914). The back of this card reads:

Carl Hagenbeck's Tierpark, Stellingen-Hamburg

Sudpolar-Panorama:

See-Elefant u. Pinguine

Caption this:  What was he thinking?

What exactly are they doing?

Another crazy German card, from an ice ballet.  Note the skates and odd costumes.  I think this one and this one and this one came from the same set. 

Big Oranges

This unused postcard is a great example of a color advertisemnt card used around the turn of the century.  Dated 1909, the top says "A carload of mammoth navel oranges from ______________________."  This card is published by Edward H. Mitchell, San Francisco.

Happy New Year!

Get out of bed, you sleepy-head

I think it's nearly time;

You went to sleep in Nineteen Nine

And woke in Nineteen ten!
