Postcard 1910 Romance Couple Embracing Fence Moonlight Embossed Alberta

Calgary, Alberta, Canada1910Pre-linenFair-Good

Under a harvest moon hanging low over a barbed-wire fence, a courting couple sits locked in a laughing embrace — his boater hat askew, her enormous Edwardian picture hat trailing ribbons — and the caption beneath them lands with a Victorian pun so groan-worthy it delights: "This Town is most Invigorating and Em-Bracing, I like it Immensely, some of the situations are Ex-squeeze-it." This embossed romantic-humor card, printed in Germany for the British market (B.B. London & New York Series No. E289), was mailed from Alberta, Canada in July 1910, addressed to Mrs. Albert at 323 – 6th Ave West, Calgary, Alberta. The sender, signing as Bob, penned a cheerful message on the left panel. A second hand added "To Bob & Linda, xx oo R.K. & Joalene" in pen across the top of the address side — evidence of the card's long sentimental life passed between families. The postmark reads JUL 17, 1910, Alberta, making this a confirmed-mailed, dateable piece with strong provenance.
