Hand-drawn Pen and Ink 1907 Child with Spilled Ink Postcard pink and gold a bit lighter from lipI'm completely charmed by this antique postcard, hand drawn in black and yellow ink and mailed in 1907 from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Perhaps it is especially because I keenly identify with this clumsy child! I can almost picture the exasperated mother mopping up the mess, then sitting down at the end of an exhausting day to share it with her friend, a Mrs. W. W. Johnston at Springfield Farm. It's in pretty good shape for being more than a hundred years
