Vintage Postcard 1905 Here\'s A Hurry Up Message Man On Bicycle For Sale

AS IS- see pictures. Wear on the corners and edges, creasing on the edges and throughout, some marks and smudged appearance on both sides, color is lifting off on the front somewhat.

This is a charming and historically interesting antique comic postcard published by E. B. & E, stamped and postmarked 1905. This card features a classic early 20th-century humorous illustration of a distracted messenger boy in a blue uniform. He is shown smoking a cigarette and engrossed in a book titled \"Dilly Dan the Dago Detective\" while pedaling his bicycle through a rural landscape. This standard size postcard features a handwritten message in pencil dated September 19, 1905. This is common for postcards of this era (Undivided Back), as messages were not yet permitted on the address side.
