This bobcat postcard, published in 1939 by the National Wildlife Publishing Corporation of New York, is “Subject 1″ in their “Wildlife Post Card Series”. Unfortunately, I’ve never seen Subjects 2 and up. Note the one-cent stampbox, and the blanks for name, address and city — no state required, apparently, and certainly no ZIP code back then.
The bobcat is pleased to be a part of Evelyn’s 5th “Festival of Postcards”, this one featuring quadrupeds, at her A Canadian Family postcard and genealogy blog — mostly on the off-chance that it’ll run into something tasty.
From Evelyn Yvonne Theriault:
You have the honour of being the first entry in the Quadrupeds issue. I hope you can come with this bobcat’s prey before we publish!
Evelyn
From postcardy:
I have numbers 1-15. Only 4 are animals and the others are birds. They are be a number of different artists.
From Sheila:
I had to read the details from the back of the card to get an idea of size. I had visualised something much larger.
