Divided back, unused postcard. Publisher unknown. Series 852. Made in the U.S.A. Circa 1918.

Price:  $10.00

Cute postcard circa 1918 (another example of this same postcard shows up elsewhere online with this date) showing a boy and girl, the smiling moon, and the caption,  “I think it great spoon by the light of the moon.”  This is signed by the artist Witt, and one of at least several of series 852 showing a similar theme. See the prior post for the other one (so far) that we have on this website. The fact that there is incorrect grammar in the caption is interesting. At least I presume it is incorrect. I don’t see any other phrases that start off this way. It looks like there wasn’t quite enough room to fit a correctly worded phrase next to the illustration, so the phrase needed to be altered slightly. The effect is rather unique I think, and adds to the charm. But who was this artist who signed his or her work under the single name Witt?
