Wish You Were Here, From Outcault
This Friday's postcard is by R.F. Outcault, features his famous characters Buster Brown and Tige, and is copyright 1909 by the Raphael Tuck and Sons Co.
Although this is the size and uses the cardboard stock of a postcard, it may not technically be one. As you can see, it is meant to be given as a valentine, and the back is completely blank. Sad that this card did not have a chance to make some little lovelorn boy or girl's day.

These were postcards AND valentines, Allan. Pre-1907 postcards had undivided backs and this set dates from 1904. —Denis
