Fantasy postcards

This type of postcard is surely the most surreal. I think that one look at the title should tell you that. Expect the unexpected. In some cases these will be postcards that you'll probably have to look at closely to see exactly what is going on. From babies in pots a la Anne Geddes (maybe this is where she got her inspiration from) through Royalty and Heads of State represented by composite images, perhaps of scantily clad nubiles, to pictures of Pierrot not quite looking like he aught. A common theme in the Edwardian period was alphabet cards - famous actresses of the day posing against or draped around the letters of the alphabet.
