Wind-swept and wide-eyed, a dandyish gentleman in orange checked trousers and a purple frock coat goes flying through the air alongside a disheveled lady — hats and monocles scattering as a cyclone whips around a distant lighthouse in this wonderfully exuberant 1905 comic card titled Well I'll Be Blowed. The bold Art Nouveau-influenced lettering and vivid two-color lithography are hallmarks of Souvenir Post Card Co. of New York, one of the most prolific early American comic publishers. Postmarked New York City, November 10, 1905, and addressed to Mr. H. Mac Innes at 19 Beacon St., Middletown — the sender (signing "Len") scrawled across the image: "Harry — where were you when this cyclone struck?" A breezy, laugh-out-loud relic of the postcard craze's earliest golden years.
