Hand-drawn Pen and Ink 1907 Child with Spilled Ink Postcard wire work and room for a few

and room for a few fingers inside their opening to their heads

which has some small chips in it

Beyond my love for it

The back hinge on one of the spice containers is damaged

and it actually seems to glow

Hand-drawn Pen and Ink 1907 Child with Spilled Ink Postcard wire work and room for a fewI'm completely charmed by this antique postcard, hand drawn in black and yellow ink and mailed in 1907 from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Perhaps it is especially because I keenly identify with this clumsy child! I can almost picture the exasperated mother mopping up the mess, then sitting down at the end of an exhausting day to share it with her friend, a Mrs. W. W. Johnston at Springfield Farm. It's in pretty good shape for being more than a hundred years
