"You Are A Lobster" — and scrawled below in looping ink, "Guess which is what?" — this cheeky Edwardian novelty card from 1905 delivers its punchline with the deadpan confidence of a century-old roast, the bold red crustacean spread across a cream ground in flat lithographic glory while the sender left the recipient to puzzle out the implied insult. "Lobster" was period American slang for a fool or a dupe, making this a gentle (or perhaps not-so-gentle) piece of correspondence in the tradition of Edwardian comic postcards that flooded the US market during the golden age of postcard collecting, 1905–1915. The card was mailed from New York on October 21, 1905 — the same date as PC-03520 in this batch, suggesting both cards were posted together — addressed to "Mr. H. Mac Innes, 19 Beacon St., Middletown, B.C." The 1¢ Franklin stamp (Scott #300) is cleanly cancelled. The handwritten message on the front reads: "Guess which is what?" with three question marks, the sender's identity left to imagination.
