Description: C142 Stork bird quill pen umbrella ink bottle postcard R. Lowell Schenectady, NY Excellent condition excepting on reverse left edge - some light signs of use. Cancellation date: Fort Plain, NY December 30, 1911 Addressee: Mrs. R. Lowell 1255 Salisbury St. Schenectady, NY Image: Stork taking address for baby home-deliveries. Details, one serious, the other 2, stupid: - An umbrella or cone ink bottle is imaged. - Turns out the stork is too cheap to go out and buy a Bic Pen. He is using one of his own feathers. - He is asking for an address but not additionally asking to see a marriage license. The implication I read into that is the Baby Deliverer is supporting illegitimate babies. And further, this postcard image is futuristic - It anticipates our cultural changes that came 55 years later with the 1960’s Hippie-New Culture Movement.
