Hand-drawn Pen and Ink 1907 Child with Spilled Ink Postcard pink and gold Lewis PondsI'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
