Wish You Were Here, from Fred Opper
Another card from the 1906 Hearst's Sunday paper freebies, that we've dubbed the Li'l Arsonist series for the method by which a hidden picture is revealed.
Here we have a card that actually would have held a surprise for the kids when the hidden figures were revealed, except that Opper drew a kid off to the side pretty much giving away the gag. Thanks Fred.
Fun fact: Hearst Sunday newspaper readers were expected to cut these postcards out from a sheet. This paper was obviously purchased by someone who read the paper after one too many glasses of beer.
