A wisecracking drunk shuffles into early-twentieth-century mailboxes on this 1906 comic novelty card — a caricatured old man in a striped jacket, plaid cap, and buttoned spats bends unsteadily toward a shot glass while a bottle of XXXX Whiskey lies spent on the floor, its dark spill pooling beneath his yellow shoes. The double-meaning punchline, "I'm all alone but, in good Spirits," was a crowd-pleasing gag of the Edwardian postcard craze, when publishers like M.N. Co. flooded the market with humorous drinking cards. The sender, signing as "Micks," crammed a cheerful note across the front to a friend named Harry in Middletown, reporting a recent visit and passing along love to "all the folk," and adding a wry postscript at the bottom: "A die for mine but I don't want no part of the other two." Postmarked 1906, this card traveled on a 1-cent Franklin stamp and remains a delightful snapshot of Gilded Age humor — irreverent, warm, and gently soaked.
