Wish You Were Here, from Dwig
I can't imagine to whom anyone would send this postcard. The Tuck company, however, felt it was marketable. This Dwig card is from Series #165, Knocks Witty and Wise. This one is undated but was postally used in 1910.
I can easily imagine parents tacking this up in the kitchen, or sending to a young relation after an ill-mannered visit. Or young people being catty with each other. Was there any message on the back, or does it look anonymous? (very plain printing or handwriting)
