A SAUCY POST CARD

There was a time when post cards like these were popular.

There is nothing on this one to suggest a date – although the outfit worn by the male walker could suggest a time period. Some sleuth might find the inland postage of 1/2 D (penny?) and foreign 1D a useful pointer.

This card obviously never went through the post and was given to someone “with Granny’s love”.  What the 14 in the bottom left-hand corner refers to I cannot tell. The ‘y’ is the only visible portion of whatever had been printed there, which has otherwise been effectively blacked out – did Granny not approve? The post card fell out of a very old book that was part of a donation to a book sale I was in charge of many years ago.
