Discover a unique piece of early 20th-century Americana with this fascinating L.F. Pease humorous postcard, postmarked 1911. The front features a charming hand-drawn illustration depicting a bustling moving day scene, complete with a horse-drawn wagon, boxes, and a man carrying furniture. A playful poem accompanies the image, mentioning a new address at "12 Lexington, St, Brockton, Mass," capturing the spirit and challenges of relocation during that era. This delightful cartoon-style card offers a glimpse into historical city life and the everyday humor of the period.The reverse side reveals a vivid postmark from Gainesville, Florida, dated September 7, 1911, alongside a one-cent U.S. postage stamp featuring George Washington. It was addressed to Mrs. Geo. Davenport in Jacksonville, Florida, and carries a personal message from "Maudel." Most notably, this postcard presents a rare and intriguing production error: the printed description on the back describes a "View of Ancon, Panama," taken a year prior, detailing the American Hotel and the Panama Canal. This clear mismatch between the front's Brockton, MA moving scene and the printed Ancon, Panama text makes this an exceptional and highly collectible error postcard from the Divided Back era.
