Wish You Were Here, from Fred Opper


Here's a 1904 Fred Opper postcard sporting an iconic image of Happy Hooligan.

However, I'm used to those being on really cheap pulpy paper, and this one is on good quality postcard stock. So ...?

It isn't one of the Hearst supplement cards, it might be published by Kaufman & Strauss, in New York.
