Reflect

Two very old postcards I found recently with a clever, mirror reverse theme. Please take a moment to pause at your own mirror and reflect upon what they are attempting to convey. Thank you.

  1. "I'll die for you" am I reading that right? If you get that card it's probably time to move and leave no forwarding address!

    I love the crazy lettering in this and the really dense clothes.

  2. This looks as though the illustrator was trying to capture The Gibson Girl look and came rather close.

    The handwritten message would be considered a secret code, since handwriting is fading out of use nowadays.

  3. That is one sleepy-looking woman! I like to think she's stayed up late writing all these backwards messages on the mirrors to Alice, the little forwards girl who lives on the other side of the looking glass.
