This charming vintage comic postcard features a humorous illustration of an elderly farmer with a long white beard, straw hat, and floral carpet bag, attempting to light a cigar with what appears to be an electric light bulb.

The artwork is rich in detail, showcasing vibrant lithographic colors and a classic caricature style that was highly popular during the Golden Age of postcards.The reverse side of the card provides fascinating historical context, featuring a 1911 Canada Postage One Cent King Edward VII stamp and a postmark from Ontario. The handwritten message adds a personal touch, reflecting the era's social correspondence. This piece is an excellent example of early Canadian philately and comic illustration, making it a wonderful addition to any collection focused on antique humor, agricultural themes, or Edwardian era memorabilia.Please zoom into and look closely at the front and back photos to view condition and feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.
