Some years ago my sister Joan began acquiring Model T post cards to give to our dad. Pop died 24 years ago and my sister tucked them away. Enjoying all of Tom Rootlieb's photos have lit a fire under my backside to dig these out, dust them off and share them. I think there are about 75 of them. About half of them are "new" and half were posted. All but a couple of the postmarks are from 1915 through 1918. I hope you enjoy them.

Bryan, Thanks for sharing. Hope all is well with you! Happy New Year!

That is some of the most delightful postcard art of that era.
Conrad (Cobb) X. Shinn (1887-1951) began to draw humorous postcards, in particular a series called "Whazzer Mazzer,". He also was a camouflage* artist during World War I.
Thanks for bringing this up. Made My Day.
Here is one of my favorites. Rich

Hi Rich. Glad I could make your day. You've certainly done that for me with your paintings. I have another 32 Cobb Shinn cards to post. I figured on 4 at a time to stretch things out for a while. Then others after that.

I like that idea. Then we could comment on them more easily. Sometimes it's hard to point out certain pictures when there are lot's in a row.
They certainly are special.
Thanks for the kind words.
Rich
