EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up, folks! Gather 'round and witness the greatest mystery of the 1910s - where in this whimsical scene has the mischievous "Dicky" the canary disappeared to? This delightful comic postcard from 1914 invites us to ponder the curious absence of the bird from its elegant cage, adorned with a pretty bow and ribbon. But fear not, for our suspicions are soon aroused by the sly grin on the black cat's face and the telltale signs of feathers scattered about. Could it be that our feline friend has once again outwitted his avian adversary? The girl in the background, seemingly oblivious to the scene unfolding before her, adds an amusing touch to this humorous tableau. The playful use of language in the title, "Guess where the Dicky is?" further engages the viewer and invites us to share in the fun. This charming postcard, with its intriguing narrative and delightful illustration, offers a glimpse into the lighthearted world of early 20th century British humor. Whether you're a collector of vintage postcards, a fan of cats and birds, or simply looking for a bit of whimsy to brighten your day, this comic postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face.
