Kirchner Mechanicals
This is a very unusual Novelty postcard. The front image is a signed Raphael Kirchner. When opened a black face clown, with a honeycomb body (one hand missing) dangles out as a surprise. This appears to be a homemade postcard except for the fact that both of the cards have the same back on them and the back postcard does not have any image printed on the front so it was designed to be just a back. This could have been something created by a postcard manufacturer to capture the Novelty audience. It's anyone's guess, but a very unique mechanical.

This appears to be a homemade postcard except for the fact that both of the cards have the same back on them and the back postcard does not have any image printed on the front, so it was designed to be just a back. This could have been something created by a postcard manufacturer to capture the Novelty audience. A small, thin string hangs from the top hat which has been made to fold over the edge of the card. The string could have been wrapped around the card to act as a securing device, then as a method of hanging the postcard after opened. Easy to speculate, impossible to know the reason of this card.

He wrote of the need to develop the art of "seeing" emphasizing depth perception. He was a part of the Wiener Werkstaette. This card is marked to that fact and is No .116.

Macabra by Alberto Martini
This is a most fantastic set, and this is the first time it has ever been presented complete for sale. The group consists of 4 seres of 12 cards each, and one set of 6 cards for a total of 54 postcards (plus all the matching original envelopes and an original tissue paper listing of all the cards and their meaning from 1915). All cards were issued by Litografia Longo - Treviso. <p> <p>Each card is an Anti-Kaiser caricature with both highlights of the crimes of the Germans and promisied retribution to the Kaiser. Each card features death in "The Dance of the Death" across Europe. The graphics were created by Alberto Martini. He was born in Oderzo, November 24, 1876. He was a painter, engraver, lithographer, illustrator and graphic designer. He was trained by his father Giorgio, who copied old masters and who was a professor of drawing at the Istituto Technico in Treviso. In 1897, when he was only 21 years old, he exhibited at the Venice Biennale with the cycle of drawings "La corte dei miracoli", inspired by "Notre-Dame de Paris" by Victor Hugo. During 1898 he stayed in Munich and had the opportunity to work on the magazines Jugend and Dekorative Kunst. Alberto Martini died in Milan on November 8, 1954. <p> <p>Each illustration has strong meaning and exquistiely done. For example, one card features the Kaiser as a turnip head with leaves saying Reims, Louvain and Paris. Death rides the head with a guillotine.in hand to symbolize retribution. The destruction of these cities, which represented the best of medieval art and architecture proved to the world, that Germany was not cultured. The names of Luvain and Reims came to symbolize barbarism.. Each card in this series has such deep propaganda meanings. An absolute epitome of art reflecting revolution.

The latter lasted until 1911 or so, and the former until at least 1921. These are oversized cards, and more often than not are trimmed, or have border wear.

RARE Yellow Kid 1910
Outcault moved the Yellow Kid to William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal American in 1897. Pulitzer hired George Luks to draw a second version of the strip in the World, and thus the Yellow Kid appeared simultaneously in two competing papers. Both versions ended in 1898.

RARE Yellow Kid 1910
Outcault moved the Yellow Kid to William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal American in 1897. Pulitzer hired George Luks to draw a second version of the strip in the World, and thus the Yellow Kid appeared simultaneously in two competing papers. Both versions ended in 1898. The sensationalistic journalism practiced by these two "yellow papers" led to the term yellow journalism. This July 1910 card shows the Kid in a gown with large firecrackers. Small ink spots in border but a combined Patriotic and Yellow Kid card is fabulous.

RARE Yellow Kid 1911
Outcault was the first to have the intellect and artistic ability to see and depict New York City as many of its residents did, and to be able to present it to them in a manner that made them laugh. For being in the right place at the right time, and for possessing unusual innate and learned talent, R. F. Outcault became the father of the American comic strip. This Yellow Kid is for the February 1911 calendar series and features the Kid chopping down the cherry tree. Postally used 1911 from Ohio.

Outcault was born in Lancaster, Ohio, on 14 January 1863, the son of Jesse and Catherine Outcault, and died at his Madison Avenue residence/studio in New York City on 25 September 1928. Even as a child it was apparent that he had artistic talent, and he developed that talent with training in the community. He later entered the McMicken University's School of Design in Cincinnati. Here the Kid tries his hand at painting for the April 1911 calendar card for a MA hardware store.

RARE Yellow Kid 1912
Outcault joined the staff of Electrical World magazine, in 1890 which was owned by one of Edison's friends. He freelanced jokes and cartoons to weekly humor magazines like Truth. His humor and art were well received, and his work appeared frequently, typically focusing on Blacks living in the imaginary town of Possumville or Irish tenement street children living in New York City. These cartoons were created for adults, not children, as was the Yellow Kid, who appears on this August 1912 calendar card.

RARE Yellow Kid 1910, 1911
Mickey Dugan, better known as The Yellow Kid, was the lead character in Hogan's Alley, the first comic strip and the first to be printed in color in mass production. The Yellow Kid was a bald, snaggle-toothed child with a goofy grin in a yellow nightshirt who hung around in an alley filled with equally odd characters. These are the most sought after of all Outcault postcards. All three of these have condition problems, but so popular they still have value.

RARE Yellow Kid 1913, 1914, 1915
The Yellow Kid, though the kid himself usually communicated through statements that appeared printed on his shirt. He rarely spoke. His language was a ragged, peculiar ghetto argot. The strip was drawn by artist Richard F. Outcault. It first appeared on a few occasions in Truth magazine from 1894 to 1895 in black and white print, but gained immense popularity in New York City when it debuted in Joseph Pulitzer's New York World as a black and white cartoon on 17 February 1895. It subsequently ran as a color cartoon on 5 May 1895. These are the most sought after of all Outcault postcards. 1915 is Near Mint, 1914 has paper issues, 1914 has edgewear but is overall excellent.

Art Nouveau by Cheret
Jules Cheret (May 31, 1836 - September 23, 1932) was a French painter and lithographer who became a master of poster art. Often called the father of the modern poster, as his large posters displaying modestly free-spirited females found a larger audience, pundits began calling him the "father of the women's liberation." Females had previously been depicted as prostitutes or puritans, and the Cherets - as his women were popularly called - were neither. It was freeing for the women of Paris, and led to a noticeably more open atmosphere in Paris where women were able to engage in formerly taboo activities, such as wearing low-cut bodices and smoking in public. The Cheret postcard is one of the high-end artists of the Art Nouveau era, and very scarce. This series features the Seasons of the Year.

Nansen Polar Expedition
The Polar Expedition by Dr. Fridtjof Nansen published by Meissner and Buch of Leipzig. Series 1016 by artist A. Goldfeld circa 1898. Undivided back, unused. In 1893, with a crew of 12 men and five years' supplies, Nansen left Norway and sailed through the Northeast Passage to the New Siberian Islands, where he allowed the Fram to become frozen into the ice. The ice floe drifted westward, carrying the ship with it, but it never came as close to the North Pole as Nansen had hoped. In March 1895 he left the Fram with Hjalmar Johansen and tried to reach the pole on skis. They arrived at 86 degrees 14 minutes N, further north than any explorer, but were forced to turn back. They reached Norway on 13 August 1896, the same day that the ice loosened its grip on the Fram north of Svalbard. Thus Nansen was able to vindicate his theory of a westward current, and the success of the expedition made the names of Nansen and the Fram known throughout the world.

Mechanical of a Cuckold Man
A cuckold is a man whose wife is unfaithful; the husband of an adulteress. It is explained that the word alludes to the habit of the female cuckold, which lays her eggs in the nests of other birds to be hatched by them. To make a cuckold of a man is to seduce his wife. Cuckolds have sometimes been written as "wearing the horns." This refers to a tradition claiming that villages would gather to collectively humiliate a man whose wife gives birth to a child recognizably not his own. According to this legend, a parade was held in which the hapless husband is forced to wear antlers on his head as a symbol of his wife's infidelity. This is a great mechanical relating to social history.
