Oh, My. a Lucky What?

Found while going through loads of old family photos.

It’s a postcard from 1912. Why’s he lucky? He looks like he’s going to be eaten by possums.

And then there are the other equally shocking – in this day at least – postcards we found (there was an entire scrapbook though most were ordinary photographs rather than a historical record of racism). These were all mailed in 1905 and the second is from the Sunny South! Can’t wait to go see the happy people!

Beware of coons falling from trees!
