DISCLAIMER: These images are from old postcards, and should be viewed with caution. While the original photographer was attempting to capture an image, through their medium they inadvertently captured unintended information. This should be kept in mind when looking at these pictures.
What I'm saying is that although the artist was likely just trying to capture a pretty scene, they created a graphic time capsule which trapped the limitations, fears, irrational prejudices and mind-bending stagnation of the soul which was in effect at the time. So I'll keep my commentary to a minimum. Just think of these as being pretty pictures.
Eighth Image:
From the Back of the post card: GREETING FROM A LITTLE FRIEND. The most fascinating and entertaining little creature to be found in the woods, is the tiny striped squirrel or chipmunk. Although naturally very timid, the miniature creature is curious too, and may become friendly enough in time to visit you daily for choice morsels from your table.
Ted Puffer Commentary: So the next time you see one in the wild, try to get him to eat from your tasty, tasty fingers.
